RE:   H.C.R. No. 177

      H.D. 1

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committees on Higher Education and Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 177 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII SUBMIT A REPORT WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THE SALARIES OF UH-MANOA FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATORS,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the University of Hawaii to submit a report with information regarding the salaries of UH Manoa faculty and administrators.

     The University of Hawaii Professional Assembly and one concerned individual submitted testimony in support of this concurrent resolution.  The University of Hawaii opposed this measure in its current form, and commented on how certain information could be reported to the Legislature on a departmental basis rather than on individual cases as requested.

     Based on testimony received, your Committees have amended this measure by:

     (1)  Requesting that the salaries of management be included        in the report; and

     (2)  Removing certain provisions originally requested to be         included in the report; and

     (3)  Changing the title of this concurrent resolution to            read:

          "REQUESTING THAT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII SUBMIT A             REPORT WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THE SALARIES OF UH-              MANOA EXECUTIVES, MANAGEMENT, FACULTY AND                      ADMINISTRATORS"; and

     (4)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity,      consistency, and style.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Higher Education and Labor & Public Employment that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 177, as amended herein, and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Finance, in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 177, H.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Higher Education and Labor & Public Employment,
