The Board of Regents appointed Virginia S. Hinshaw as Manoa chancellor and Manuel Cabral as interim chancellor for Leeward CC and approved the reassignment of Interim Vice President for Community Colleges John Morton to a permanent status.
An academic leader with a distinguished record of accomplishment at UC Davis, and prior to that the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Hinshaw is also a renowned scientist with expertise in microbiology whose work over the past 25 years has aided in the understanding of the influenza virus and new approaches to vaccines.“I’m truly excited about the prospect of joining the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, an institution of many accomplishments, but clearly with increasing aspirations for the future,” said Hinshaw.

From 1984 to 2005, he served as Kapi‘olani provost/chancellor, during which time the new campus was built on Diamond Head. Beginning in January 2002, Morton spearheaded the implementation of the university’s systemwide student information system, also known as Banner, and continues to oversee its development and implementation.
