Requests the University of Hawaii to transfer the School of Travel Industry Management from the University of Hawaii at Manoa to the University of Hawaii - West Oahu.

Notes that the School of Travel Industry Management was previously ranked among the top twenty college programs nationally for hospitality management but dropped to the top fifty by 2022.

Identifies the University of Hawaii - West Oahu as the fastest growing campus in the University of Hawaii system and suited to address workforce needs through modern technologies.

Cites growing demand for hospitality industry employees on the Leeward Coast of Oahu due to hotel development in that region.

Directs that a certified copy of the resolution be transmitted to the President of the University of Hawaii System.
