University of Hawaii fiscal woes hurting students, faculty - Hawaii Reporter

Students and faculty at the University of Hawaii are joining forces to try to force solutions to the system's spiraling financial crisis. The University of Hawaii hiked tuition by 108 percent from 2006 to 2012, and will increase tuition another 33 percent between 2013 and 2017. Annual tuition for a general undergraduate student will climb from $4,522 in 2007 to $11,376 in the 2016-2017 school year. A newly formed group of students, faculty and staff, I Mua Mānoa, said students are not getting the value they deserve at the University’s flagship campus, the University of Hawaii-Manoa. Imua is the Hawaiian word for “going forward.” http://www.hawaiireporter.com/group-university-of-hawaii-fiscal-woes-hurting-students-faculty/123
