July, 2020

Dear Governor David Ige:

We, faculty, students, and staff at the University of Hawai`i (UH), write to express our dismay regarding the resolution and the accompanying letter addressed to you on the agenda for the UH Board of Regents (BOR) meeting of July 16, 2020. We firmly oppose both the letter, and the resolution, which seeks unprecedented power for the UH administration. This administration has increasingly disregarded principles of faculty governance that keep a university true to its educational aims. We oppose the harsh personnel cuts, furloughs, and elimination or mergers of programs, departments and academic units laid out by the BOR as possible effective measures to contend with the pandemic-induced fiscal crisis.

Both the resolution and the letter purport to be in the interest of saving the university in the midst of a pandemic. In fact, they erode the core educational mission of Hawai‘i’s only public university system. The BOR’s response to the fiscal crisis prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of the resolution and the letter are opportunistic attempts to request sweeping and unprecedented powers for the university administration.

These requests concentrate decision-making power in an administration that is increasingly alienated from the university community and therefore ill-equipped to wield such power. We reject this response to the fiscal crisis because it is short-sighted and damaging to UH’s role as a public institution meant to serve the students and future citizens of Hawai‘i.

We recognize that the fiscal crisis is real. However, the wide latitude of action without oversight requested by the university administration will result in ill-advised and hasty decisions at a time of crisis, the worst time for such decisions. Recent unilateral actions by the administration—from mergers and reorganizations to the refusal to listen in the face of widespread actions opposing the TMT—do not give us confidence that the administration will act in the best interests of the university with the extraordinary powers it is requesting.

Instead, we propose the following to meet this moment with the forethought and steadfast attention to public good that a crisis of this proportion deserves. As faculty, students, and staff we care deeply about UH and are eager to work with you, the administration, and other stakeholders to respond to the crisis confronting us. In that spirit, we ask you to commit to these actions.

• SEEKING ALTERNATIVES TO LAYOFFS AND PERSONNEL SAVINGS
Layoffs of undergraduate and graduate student workers, lecturers, staff and faculty affect the public good adversely. Such layoffs diminish the state’s economy by the reduction of in-state consumption. Economists agree that putting less money in the pockets of workers harms rather than helps recovery. On the other hand, bloated administrative salaries tend to go to savings rather than in-state consumption.  

The administration should not balance the budget through personnel cuts and savings that impact employee wages and benefits. Rather, in addressing budget shortfalls, the focus should be on exploring non-personnel cost-saving measures, reduction of administrative positions through consolidation of functions, and cuts to inflated administrative salaries. Rainy day funds should be used boldly and swiftly. A crisis such as this is what they are meant for. Defunding the police to refund the university and increasing taxes on the wealthy are also options.

• PROTECTING COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
In tackling the budget, the administration should regard the unions as partners rather than adversaries. Undoing collectively bargained pay increases and benefits erodes the overall well-being of all unionized workers in the state in damaging ways. We are all working on the front lines to keep the economy going.

• CONSULTATION BEFORE  PROGRAM OR DEPARTMENT CUTS AND REORGANIZATION
The university should resist ill-advised, administration-driven cutting of programs/departments and reorganization of university units. It is easy to cut programs but hard to re-establish them. Any cuts or reorganizations should follow established procedures (which this administration has regularly disregarded) and be the result of wide and meaningful consultation. Such actions should defer to the expert knowledge of faculty, students and staff affected by the proposed actions. This is especially vital at a time of crisis when the tendency to think short-term is tempting.

• REINVIGORATING FACULTY AND STUDENT GOVERNANCE
The administration has disregarded and undermined time-tested hallowed systems of faculty and student governance within the public higher education system. It has routinely, and scandalously, ignored and dismissed resolutions and recommendations of faculty senates. It must change this approach and commit to engaging faculty and students as partners again. It is in the interest of the university that the administration do so. The fiscal crisis requires all hands on deck. High-handed administrative action will result in resistance from stakeholders and do lasting damage to Hawaiʻi’s only public higher education system.

• MAKING DECISIONS REGARDING THE BUDGET TRANSPARENTLY AND FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD
The administration should open the fiscal books and share budgetary information with all stakeholders at the university from students to faculty to staff. They should explain their proposed actions with regard to the budget in a clear and timely fashion through campus-wide meetings and, most importantly, incorporate the feedback they receive. Their actions with regard to the budget should reflect the public good and cannot come before wide and respectful—rather than pro forma—consultation.

• DEFENDING THE UNIVERSITY AS A PUBLIC GOOD
UH makes invaluable contributions to the quality of life in Hawaiʻi by recovering, generating and disseminating knowledge about Hawaiʻi; by preparing a skilled and educated workforce that can contribute to a diversified economy; by expanding the minds of citizens for a vibrant and compassionate democratic society. It is a public good whose contributions cannot and should not be evaluated by the flawed criteria of for-profit corporations accountable only to shareholders and private citizens. As a public good, UH is ultimately accountable to the people of Hawai`i.

The right response during the fiscal crisis created by the pandemic is to protect the core instructional and research mission of the university by looking for new ways to recover instead of the old and failed responses to slash rather than grow. The BOR resolution and the accompanying letter both go directly against this need to protect by placing excessive power in the hands of an administration that has already shown itself to have little understanding of or care for the proven ability of the public university to contribute to a democratic and economically vibrant Hawai`i. As the faculty, staff and students who have signed onto this letter, we are ready to work during this crisis to protect our university and ensure its well-being during this challenging time and after.
