McClain recommends UARC despite massive opposition
Léo Azambuja had this piece
in Ka Leo O
Hawai'i (the UH paper)
yesterday:University of Hawai'i interim President David McClain gave UARC a thumbs up despite the fact that the majority of student groups at UH voiced out against it. The UHM Faculty Senate recommended against it. UHM interim Chancellor Denise Konan, ASUH and the Kuali'i Council did the same. The Student Caucus, made up of student representatives from each campus in the UH system is against it. The Faculty Senate of the Hawai'i Community College and the Faculty Senate of the College of Arts and Sciences at UH Hilo, which represents most of the UH Hilo faculty, are also against it. Banners displayed all over the UHM campus rejected it.
However, if McClain is against the majority, then it's worth it to take a good look at the UARC proposal.
Which
Azambuja proceeds to do.Update
