Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred H.R. No. 130 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this resolution is to request that the leadership of the state House of Representatives and Senate meet with the President of the University of Hawaii (UH) and his designated representatives to explore ways that the UH can contribute to more informed and better decision-making by the Legislature in a wide variety of disciplines and topical areas.

UH submitted testimony in support of this resolution.

Your Committee finds that the Legislature and UH could better work to serve the community in a collaborative effort, sharing ideas and information, in order to further the goals that both parties have for UH.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 130 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Legislative Management.
