In reply to Liam Kelley. Hi Liam, The best course of action is to request that information from your area state senator and house representative.

How can find out which state legislators have the “intent” of deciding where the College of Education should be?

In reply to Paul McKimmy. Hi Paul, We checked with VP Kalbert Young and he sent us the following response.

Provisos in the state budget are purely the intent of state legislators and �鶹��ý state departments, including the University of �鶹��ý, are not part of the process of negotiating provisos. The �鶹��ýleadership team did not work on this proviso or was aware of it. However, now that the budget bill has been passed by the legislature, the university will have to explore what avenues exist to fund whatever projects are necessary to fund while adhering to the legal requirements and intents of the legislature.

For more on this you can also read the recent Star Advertiser article, “Proviso sections are where a bill’s rubber hits the road,” May 6, 2016 (subscription required).

I would like to know why you REQUESTED that deferred maintenance funds be restricted from the College of Education? .. funds “shall not be expended for the college of education if the college of education remains at the University of Hawaii at Manoa” section 51.3 of HB1700. This agenda ought to be made public.
