The Presidential Selection Committee of the Board of Regents of the University of Hawaiʻi System met today at 10:00 a.m. The committee made two decisions before adjourning.

1.   The committee decided to defer a decision on the selection of a search firm for the presidential search

2.   The committee moved to amend and adopt the draft President’s Agenda, the criteria that will be used for selecting the next president. The agenda now incorporates many of the suggestions made by members of the public in the committee’s outreach appearances.  Here is a link to the document:  http://www.Hawaiʻi.edu/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/President-Agenda-and-Criteria.pdf

The next scheduled meeting of the Selection Committee will be posted soon.
