Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Education and Technology, to which was
referred H.B. No. 2073, H.D. 2, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to replace the five members
of the Board of Regents of the University of Hawaii who sit on
the Board of Directors for the Research Corporation of the
University of Hawaii with two administrators and two faculty
members.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
University of Hawaii and the Research Corporation of the
University of Hawaii.

     Your Committee finds that changing the composition of the
Board of Directors of the Research Corporation of the University
of Hawaii as proposed by this measure is a step toward
consolidating managerial control of University-related affairs
within the University system.

     Your Committee, however, believes that two members from the
Board of Regents should be maintained.  Thus, the measure has
been amended by increasing the composition of the Board of
Directors from ten to eleven members so as to allow two members
each from the Board of Regents, administration, and faculty and
by maintaining the five members to be appointed by the governor.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Education and Technology that is attached to this
report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose
of H.B. No. 2073, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that
it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B.
No. 2073, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on
Ways and Means.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the

                                   Technology,
