UH contract negotiated for Navy UARC


Advertiser reports that "a new contract has been negotiated between the Navy and the University of Hawai'i for a university-affiliated research center." The agreement is subject to Board of Regents approval, and the contract probably will be placed on the Sept. 27-28 Board of Regents agenda (meeting in Hilo) for final approval.
Kyle Kajihiro, program director for the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker-affiliated social justice and peace organization, said the UH administration is "thumbing its nose at all the constituencies of the university that came out and opposed the UARC" previously.

That included a 2005 sit-in by protesters at UH President David McClain's office, and recommendations against going ahead with the UARC by the Manoa Faculty Senate and an undergraduate student association.

UH-Manoa Interim Chancellor Denise Konan also recommended against proceeding with the UARC, saying it was not supported by the campus.
[...]
Joel Fischer, a professor at UH for 38 years who teaches research in the school of social work, said the latest contract "is almost the same as the contract that was analyzed and dissected by those of us in the coalition opposed to the UARC."

Update 9/19: Advertiser editorial says "the regents owe the community more than a rubber-stamp review. They are as accountable as anyone."
