K A L EO S TAFF EDITORIAL Enough is enough. The past months have provided the clearest example of what students have suspected for a long time – M.R.C. Greenwood and the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa administration are more than happy to waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on “mistakes” and shady deals. It ’s bad enough that the $200,000 payment for the Stevie Wonder concert has yet to be recovered.

We deserve better than the F ’s that they have attempted to portray as Aquality work. L et us not forget, after all, what happens when a student produces Fquality work at a university. Surely we can hold our administrators to the same standards.
