REPORT FROM THE STATE SENATE -- The Senate Committees on Ways and Means and Higher Education will be holding two joint informational briefings to discuss employee salaries and student tuition at the University of Hawaii (UH) system. UH’s Board of Regents (BOR) has been requested to present at both briefings.
“There are growing demands for state resources. A better understanding of how the university uses its money will help determine how state funds are allocated,” said Senate Ways and Means Chair David Ige.
“We’re hoping to gain insight on the University’s processes and possibly look for ways of doing things better,” said Higher Education Chair Brian Taniguchi.

2. Salaries of highly compensated positions;
3. Types of compensation and benefits awarded other than salary; and
4. Employee contract buyouts
The second informational briefing will be held on Tuesday, February 5 at 9 a.m., also in room 211. The BOR has been asked to present information on tuition inclusive of the following:
