RESOLUTION

 

 

reQUESTING an audit of the university of hawaii's management of faculty workload.

 

 

     WHEREAS, in February of 1973, the Office of the Auditor published a report of its audit of the University of Hawaii's management of faculty workload; and

 

     WHEREAS, the Office of the Auditor found the absence of clear and specific policies governing the utilization of faculty resources and the inefficient use of faculty resources, recommending that the University of Hawaii develop policies to govern faculty workload; and

 

     WHEREAS, in April of 1997, the Office of the Auditor published a report of another audit it conducted of the University of Hawaii's management of faculty workload; and

 

     WHEREAS, the Office of the Auditor again found inadequate utilization of instructional faculty contributing to the improper compensation of faculty and recommended that the Board of Regents of the University of Hawaii clarify its requirements for the instructional, research, and service components of instructional faculty workload; establish minimum teaching assignments for all instructional faculty; and ensure that equivalencies across campuses are equitable and that faculty overload requests are processed in compliance with the contractual agreement between the Board of Regents and the University of Hawaii Professional Assembly; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Twenty-seventh Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2013, the House of Representatives concurring, that the Office of the Auditor is requested to conduct an updated audit of the University of Hawaii's management of faculty workload; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Office of the Auditor is requested to report findings and recommendations to the Legislature no later than twenty days before the convening of the Regular Session of 2014; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Auditor and the Board of Regents of the University of Hawaii.
