Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 92, S.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to urge the University of Hawaii (UH) to rebuild a school of Global and Public Health.

UH, UH School of Public Health Alumni Association, Dean of the UH School of Medicine, and several individuals supported this measure.

Your Committee finds that establishing a new School of Global and Public Health at UH would be extremely beneficial to the State, and supports this endeavor. However, your Committee notes that commitments were made by UH's administration to accomplish this task without additional general fund support from the Legislature.

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 S.C.R. No. 92, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.
