A BILL FOR AN ACT
rELATING TO UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII's kapiolani community college.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that as Kapiolani community college's (KCC) enrollment grew to seven thousand three hundred students in fall 2005, KCC has attempted to continue providing extensive and quality liberal arts and twenty-first century career programs.
In addition to liberal arts students, KCC serves Hawaii’s workforce needs through career programs in business, information technology, culinary arts, hospitality services, nursing and health sciences, legal assistance, English as a second language, sign language interpreter education, and paraprofessional and teacher education. KCC's emerging technology programs in new media arts, science, biotechnology, exercise and sport science, and eBusiness provide opportunities for new synergies in career education that advance state economic development opportunities.
Nationally recognized by four higher education associations for excellence in student learning, KCC needs support in four priority areas to sustain excellence in student learning:
(1) Improved infrastructure - Twenty years of enrollment growth and intensive use of campus facilities, operating budget erosions, and increasing demand for technology integration within all programs, have resulted in a serious need for additional critical support funding for building maintenance, new classrooms and furniture, equipment, technology, and parking to sustain excellence in academic programs, staff for business, training, web, and distance learning;
(2) Success for native Hawaiian and students with disabilities - The college, inspired by the legacy of Queen Kapiolani, is committed to the educational success of its native Hawaiian students. Counseling services and services to provide accommodations to all disabled students must be shifted to non-federal sources to ensure student success and to comply with federal laws;
(3) Workforce and economic development - The college’s 21st century career programs are strongly aligned with state economic development projections with the following priorities:
(A) Strengthening career pathway programming with the department of education;
(B) expanding remedial and development program to ensure greater access to and success in career programs;
(C) Strengthening programs for students with limited English proficiency; and
(D) Developing local and national partnerships for career program enhancement; and
(4) Long-term care workforce and industry - With a rapidly aging demographic profile, the state must focus greater resources on developing a long-term care workforce and industry. The college is well-prepared to shape this new career field using its existing expertise, if additional funding is provided to cover basic requirements.
