Funding Trends: FY08 to FY12

FADI YOUKHANA Staff Writer Earlier this year, State House and Senate budget lawmakers lowered university funds by cutting $7 million from the state legislature and $2.5 million from the governor’s office. The cut in funds for the university took effect on July 1.

“The University of Hawai‘i, like the rest of the state, has suffered deep budget cuts since the recession hit Hawai‘i and the nation,” interim president David Lassner said in an email.

The decline in funds from the state legislature has remained consistent during the past few years.

In 2009 the University of Hawai‘i received $246 million in tax money by the state budget. In 2013, the university will receive $190 million.

The university has seen its portion of overall state general funds decline from 8.7 percent in the fiscal year of 2009 to 6.7 percent in the fiscal year of 2013, according to the biennium budget by the Boards of Regents workshop published in 2012.

The university has taken measures to respond to the lack of funds.

For example, the cost of tuition at the Mānoa campus has increased for the last five years. In 2011 the University of Hawai‘i’s Board of Regents approved a 35 percent increase in tuition over five years. This increase in tuition generates about $10 million in additional income for the university’s budget according to Senate Ways and Means Chair David Ige in a HawaiiNewsNow report.

“I feel that with the rise in tuition cost over the past few years has forced students into applying and competing

for more scholarships that UHM has to offer, which from what I have experienced are very hard to come by or do not cover much cost. Students also apply and attend the community college branches of the UH system, which I hear isn’t a bad idea these days,” said Trevor Watanabe, a sophomore majoring in communication.

The university’s administration will continue its attempts to shield the students from the impacts of the funding cuts.

“We’ve had to look for efficiencies wherever possible and stretch resources. President Emerita MRC Greenwood noted that one of her team’s proudest achievements was managing to sustain these cuts, in the tens of millions of dollars annually, without sacrificing classroom instruction and while supporting the highest student enrollments in the history of the university,” Lassner said.

Some students still worry that services might be terminated to save money.

“I would be worried if tutoring services on campus become affected,” said junior animal science major Krista Ann Lee. “I often receive help from the tutors on difficult concepts covered in class, as do many of my friends.”

Along with the decrease in annual support from the state’s general fund, state lawmakers also eliminated 100 vacant unfunded jobs across the university’s campuses. Unfunded positions have been kept vacant for years in hopes that money will be available in the future to fill the positions.

“Moving forward, we will still need to adapt to ensure we can continue to provide students throughout Hawai‘i with access to a high-quality educational experience,” Lassner said.

From its humble beginnings as UH Mānoa’s lo‘i, or taro patch, Ka Papa Lo‘i O Kānewai is getting a touch up with the addition of a Cultural Resource Center, which will be built next to the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies on Dole Street.

“The Resource Center will literally bring us out from under the tents,” said Edward Makahiapo Cashman, director of Ka Papa Lo‘i Kānewai Cultural Garden. “It will allow our staff and practitioners a place to work and create tools for their practice, like building canoes, carving and ku‘i kalo (pound taro).”

This idea initially came from the K ānewai staff, Ho‘okahe Wai Ho‘oulu ‘āina members, a group who based their philosophy on restoring water flow and making the land productive, and community members almost 10 years ago as they worked on a plan for the lo‘i.

“I think it’s a good idea. I think more people will be attracted to the lo‘i by building the cultural resource center,” said junior Noel Hahn, who participates in Ka Papa Lo‘i Kānewai’s First Saturdays program.

After the plan was set, the Kānewai staff applied for a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant.

After being awarded $670,000 from the HUD, the staff received help from WCIT Architecture’s Wayne

Goo, who worked with architecture students to design the anticipated Resource Center.

“The Resource Center will feature a pavilion-style, all-purpose room, a resource room, workshop, storage and staff bathroom and shower,” Cashman said.

The construction for the Resource Center is expected to begin sometime this month and should take about seven months to construct, according to the director.

The staff hopes that, in the future, the Resource Center will be home to workshops that will feature different practitioners in the community to help students build relationships and to be a meeting place for a variety of events.

“If they’re going to invest money in to the main campus, I don’t see why it would be a problem for them to invest money into Native Hawaiian resources like the lo‘i,” Hahn said.

Because the project is getting financial support by the HUD, the lo‘i will continue to thrive as it serves the UH Mānoa community.

“The community has always been a part of Kānewai,” Cashman said.

“We hope to be able to better serve our UH community with the programs and maybe even offer more classes that people have been asking for.”

Cashman said volunteers who attend First Saturdays will continue to cultivate kalo during construction to carry on the legacy that began more than three decades ago.

LEGEND

Dave Shoji (center) has been the head coach of the Rainbow Wahine for the past 39 years.

DAV E S H O J I LOOK S TO C AP T U RE H I S TO RI C 1,107 T H WI N M ADDIE SAPIGAO Senior Staff Writer

History is on the line for Dave Shoji, head coach of the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team.

W it h t his weekend’s Ha wa i ia n A i rl i nes Wa hi ne Vol leyba l l Classic, Shoji is t ied for most ca reer w i ns i n NCA A Div ision I histor y w it h for mer UCL A head coach A ndy Ba na chowsk i at 1,10 6 .

“I am not sur pr ised,” senior libero A li L ongo sa id. “He has dedicated a ton of t ime and energ y to this program and has consistently made it a top program in the nat ion. He def i nitely deser ves to hold that re cord. He’s a great coach in the volleyball communit y.”

To become the most successful coach in NCA A history, Shoji must first lead his team to vic-

tory over Santa Clara on Friday or UCL A on Saturday.

THE TITLES Shoji has three NCA A Championship titles under his belt along with f ive total ap pearances in the f inals. He is an 11 time conference, nine -time Regional and t wo -time National Coach of the Year. In December 2011, he was inducted into the AVCA Hall of Fame.

YO U N G S H O J I Shoji at tended Upland High S chool in Califor nia, where he played football, basketball and baseball. A f ter graduat ing, he cont inued his athlet ic career at UC Sant a Barbara, play ing baseball for one year and vol leyball for three.

At UCSB, he earned All-

ISMAEL MA KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

American honors as a volleyball player. After serving two years in the United States Army, Shoji coached girls’ and boys’ volleyball at Kalani High School and eventually took an assistant coaching job at Punahou High School.

“He is very humble,” Longo said. “He is able to be a superstar in the community, but if you were that one person who doesn’t know him, you would just think he is a regular guy.”

In 1975, Shoji took over the UH women’s volleyball program.

He coached them to two national title matches before finally winning it all against Utah State in 1979. He steered the team to another title win against USC in 1982 and then again versus UCL A the following year. This last victory made Hawai‘i the first school to win back-to-back NCA A championships.

T H E FA M I LY N A M E Not only is the name “Shoji” associated with the UH head coach, but all of his children have made their name known in the volleyball world as well. His oldest, Cobey, played for Michigan, was the Director of Volleyball Operations at Stanford for six seasons and last year gave birth to Shoji’s fi rst grandchild, Micah Knight Hutzler.

Middle child Kawika played at Stanford. And two years later, the youngest Shoji, Erik, joined the Cardinal squad. They were key players in Stanford’s “Worst to First” three-year journey, starting from a 3-25 season in 2007 to a national championship in 2010. Both are currently on the U.S. Men’s National Volleyball Team.

F I N A L Y E A R? The rumors continue about Shoji’s potential retirement, but he has

not made any announcement whether he will return next season. No matter when the time comes, the legacy and powerhouse program will be forever grateful to the knowledge and coaching that Shoji will leave behind.

“My favorite thing about Dave is that he keeps it simple,” senior setter Mita Uiato said. “He talks to us where we can understand, and he’s not too radical, and he always reminds us to have fun cause we play the best when we have fun.”

UPCOMING GAMES Hawai‘i vs. Santa Clara Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Hawai‘i vs. No. 10 UCLA Saturday, 7:30 p.m.

All games will be played in the Stan Sheriff Center. Admission is free for students with a valid UH ID.
