Whereas BOR meetings are subject to the State of Hawaii sunshine law
Whereas even at informational meetings, opportunity for comment is provided
Whereas no comments can be made on an item to be discussed if the public is denied access to the item
Therefore the faculty of the University of Hawaii at Manoa request that the Regents respect not merely the letter but also the spirit of the sunshine law and make available documents necessary to be able to understand and offer comment on items to be discussed in public meetings.
