HI SCR198

Encourages the University of Hawaii System and Department of Accounting and General Services to develop a plan to relocate administrative offices from the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus to other state-owned buildings.

Identifies that housing administrative offices on academic campuses reduces instruction and research space available to the campus.

Notes that the University of Hawaii System is funded through general appropriations only and has no funds to lease private space, requiring relocation to state facilities.

Proposes that diversifying administrative office locations across multiple campuses would demonstrate equal representation of all ten University of Hawaii campuses by the system administration.

Directs transmittal of the resolution to the Comptroller, University of Hawaii Board of Regents Chairperson, University of Hawaii System President, and University of Hawaii at Manoa Chancellor.
