Merry Christmas! and have a Blessed New Year everyone!!

with Aloha from the Big Island

It appears as if the �鶹��ýNews staff have an agenda. Not overly surprising.

Mods if you check my IP address you will see I am in Canada. I am home visiting family. I showed my parents the clip of the event I attended last week over our lunch today and I started reading the comments…..

Correct me if I am wrong, did the music department put this concert on? Didn’t the music department just have its operating budget slashed to $500 or so? Hats off to those performers if they did. As of the thunderous applause, they only really sound thunderous when the choir and band stand up, they are very subdued when it is just the interim chancellor and this happened several times that night. I think people were just going through the motions of applauding the interim chancellor, everyone else really did get thunderous applause.

The booing really did happen at the beginning of the evening, I heard it and so did my friends. Still I suppose it looks bad if the Interim Chancellor is booed and does not have the respect of the University population, so, I can understand your stance, but, I do not agree with it.

Just my two cents worth.

Merry Christmas from a cold Canada.

“Linda” “James” and “Mike” you may want to use different IP addresses next time to support your spurious assertions 😉

But we certainly appreciate your passion for improving the quality of education at the University of Hawai’i! Imua!

My daughter and son currently attend �鶹��ýManoa and they were distraught when they were trying to sign up for classes and many of them had been cancelled or did not have any seats remaining for spring 15. This was because TA positions were getting cut. They would have had to stop attending UH, it is just getting too expensive.

I am grateful for those TAs who stood up to be counted and slept out in the cold to draw attention to the situation, I am sure, as are my son and daughter that the action they took prevented cuts to TA positions and maintained the associated classes.

God bless those TAs in this season of giving, they gave for us and are a shinning example to all.

Maybe the production staff were told to say that they did not not hear booing? It definitely did happen.

He was booed at the at the start of the evening before he got up on stage for this video.

Hi Mike,

That is interesting because our video production staff recorded him receiving thunderous applause, as you can see at the end of this video

Thank you for keeping the conversation civil.

I think people are starting to see where and what the issues at �鶹��ýManoa are.
