STATE OF HAWAII

SENATE RESOLUTION

 

 

Requesting the board of regents and the president of the university of hawaii to give preference to local candidates when hiring for executive personnel positions at the university of hawaii.

 

 

     WHEREAS, the University of Hawaii has a history of hiring people from out of state to fill executive positions within the University, such as the University President, Manoa Chancellor, Athletic Director, and Football Coach; and

 

WHEREAS, many of the candidates that fill these positions have no ties to the University of Hawaii or the State; and

 

     WHEREAS, often times, the University of Hawaii pays a search firm to recruit and find out-of-state candidates to fill these positions; and

 

     WHEREAS, currently, the University of Hawaii has hired a search firm for a fee of up to $90,000 to find a new Athletic Director; and

 

     WHEREAS, over the last twelve years, the University of Hawaii has paid over $2,500,000 in contract buyouts for various executive personnel, many of which were out-of-state hires; and

 

     WHEREAS, there may be qualified and talented individuals who reside within or have strong ties to the State that could fill these executive positions but have been overlooked by the University of Hawaii because of its penchant for hiring individuals from out of state; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Twenty-seventh Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2013, that the Board of Regents and the President of the University of Hawaii are requested to give preference to local candidates when hiring for executive personnel positions at the University of Hawaii; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Resolution be transmitted to the Governor, Chair of the Board of Regents of the University of Hawaii, and President of the University of Hawaii.
