Following up on a promise to con-tinue investigation into the University off Hawai‘i’s policies and budget as a result of last year’s botched Stevie Wonder concert, Hawai‘i legislators plan to examine the costs and effectiveness of UH administrative policies along with general university spending during the current legislative session. “We have some responsibility as the ones who appropriate the money to the university to be sure that it’s being spent well,” said Sen. Brian Taniguchi, chair of the Senate Higher Education Committee. The continued scrutiny of UH leaders and practices is a reaction to last fall’s special committee hearings into the failed concert that prompted other questions from state senators and representatives, as well as the general public, about the state and effectiveness of leadership at the university. Although the hearings took place in October, the 2013 legislative session represents the first opportunity for legislators to take action and draft legislation based on the committee’s findings.
