McClain recommends UARC


Here's UH interim President David McClain's recommendation to the Board of Regents regarding the proposal Navy University Affiliated Research Center (UARC).

I haven't had a chance to review it carefully, but essentially he's recommending to "approve the establishment of the UARC as an administrative unit attached to the UH System" rather than a part of the UH-Manoa campus, and to "provide that the UARC will perform no classified task orders during its first three years of operation."

Star-Bulletin breaking article and brief report in the Advertiser.

Regents, who have the final decision, are likely to vote on the recommendation next month.

See StopUARC.info for more background.

2/17 Morning update: Longer Star-Bulletin article and Advertiser article. Plus a related letter in the Advertiser.

And by the way, this move was predicted earlier.

Update 2/18: Star-Bulletin editorial supports McClain's recommendation.
