Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fourth State Legislature
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 135 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING A COMPARISON STUDY OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AND THE BOARDS OF REGENTS OF SIMILAR STATE UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE NATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the University of Hawaii (UH) to perform a comparison study of the Board of Regents (BOR) of the UH and the boards of regents of similar state universities across the nation.
Testimony with comments was submitted by the UH.
Based on the testimony received and pursuant discussion your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Requesting the UH to focus the comparison study on the BOR's powers and responsibilities in relation to state statutes and the boards of regents of similar state universities across the nation with the intent of enabling the BOR to:
(a) Delegate those matters that should be delegated; and
(b) Retain those matters that meet their fiduciary responsibility for the UH; and
(2) Making technical nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency and style.
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.C.R. No. 135, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 135, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education,
