STATE OF HAWAII

A BILL FOR AN ACT

RELATING TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII SYSTEM.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that it is a matter of statewide concern that the president of the University of Hawaii serves simultaneously as the chancellor of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Serving in both roles leads to inevitable conflicts of interest. Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to prohibit a person from concurrently serving as the president of the University of Hawaii and as chancellor of any University of Hawaii campus.

SECTION 2. Chapter 304A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to part I, subpart A, to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:

"§304A-   President of the University of Hawaii; prohibition on concurrent service. No person shall serve concurrently as president of the University of Hawaii and as chancellor of any University of Hawaii campus, including as an acting or interim chancellor."

SECTION 3. New statutory material is underscored.

SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.

Report Title:

University of Hawaii; President of the University of Hawaii; Chancellor

Description:

Prohibits the President of the University of Hawaii from serving concurrently as a campus chancellor. (SD1)
