Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 75 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the University of Hawaii System to conduct a study on the feasibility and potential benefits of allowing individual campuses to set appropriate levels of nonresident students or, alternatively, to investigate lifting the existing caps altogether.

     The University of Hawaii System commented on this measure.

     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. 75 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education,
