The University of Â鶹´«Ã½ is asking for feedback from UH community members—students, faculty, staff and alumni—and the general public on the first draft of the UH Â鶹´«Ã½ 2023–2029. The plan will guide Â鶹´«Ã½¡¯s public higher education, 10-campus system for the next six years and replace .
The draft is available for review and comment on the UH Â鶹´«Ã½ 2023–2029 website until Sunday, October 16 at 6 p.m. Everyone is encouraged to recommend specific actions that can be taken to achieve the objectives of the plan. Titled, “Â鶹´«Ã½¡¯s University for Today and Tomorrow,” the draft plan identifies four imperatives:
- Successful Students for a Better Future
- Meet Â鶹´«Ã½ Workforce Needs of Today and Tomorrow
- Embrace Kuleana to Native Hawaiians and Â鶹´«Ã½
- Diversify Â鶹´«Ã½¡¯s Economy through UH Innovation and Research
Each imperative in the draft also lists objectives and possible metrics to measure attainment.
“More than a thousand people from within the UH community and the public-at-large have participated in this process so far, which is outstanding,” said UH Vice Presdident for Academic Strategy Debora Halbert. “We hope that more people will participate in this critical next phase as we finalize our plan to best serve the state and our students through the end of the decade.”

This latest round of community engagement in the development of the UH Â鶹´«Ã½ 2023–2029 will be incorporated into the final draft. The final draft is tentatively scheduled to go before the UH Board of Regents for approval at the board¡¯s November 17 meeting, which will provide another opportunity for the public to provide feedback.
