In 2021, S.C.R. 201 was passed by the Senate, urging the University of Hawai‘i and the University of Hawai‘i Professional Assembly (UHPA) to convene a task force to “examine and assess” the tenure system. The full text of the resolution can be found here.
The resolution requests data regarding tenure, compensation structures, and extramural activities for faculty in a variety of faculty classifications throughout the UH System.
The Tenure Task Force held its first meeting on October 8, 2021. In an effort to provide for open communication with University faculty and to keep faculty informed about the activities taking place, this website has been developed.
Committee Membership
The resolution also specifies the membership of the taskforce and/or the designees. The Tenure Task Force membership includes:
- Randolph Moore, Board of Regents Chair
- David Lassner, President
