Statement from the Board of Regents<\/h2>\n

Robert Bley-Vroman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Board of Regents<\/a> and President David Lassner greatly appreciate the deep concerns and ideas shared by students and faculty in face-to-face meetings as well as by written and oral testimony over these past weeks. The fact that there are different perspectives on personnel matters and how they are handled does not mean that the concerns are not being heard.<\/p>\n

The Board of Regents supports the president’s assessment of the chancellor’s performance and the associated personnel actions. We intend to honor the settlement agreement with Chancellor Apple and have approved the appointment of Dr. Bley-Vroman as Interim Chancellor. Dr. Bley-Vroman brings to the role decades of experience at UH<\/abbr> Mānoa<\/a> through which he has gained a deep understanding of the campus as a faculty member, faculty leader and Dean.<\/p>\n
