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.

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.
