This may finally be the time when University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa administrators are held accountable for their actions.

On Monday, Sept. 24 at 1 p.m., the Hawai‘i State Senate will hold a special hearing to look into the Stevie Wonder concert incident – and scrutinize UH’s fiscal and management policies as a whole. UH System President M.R.C. Greenwood and Board of Regents Chair Eric Martinson are among the officials expected to testify before the legislature. Students, now is the time to speak up. We deser ve better – but we also need to earn it. We cannot depend on UH’s administration to fi x its problems on its own. We cannot expect state senators to read the minds of the student body. The only way that our interests as students will be represented at this hearing is if we, the students, speak on our own behalf. By submitting testimony to the legislature, we can ensure that our voices are part of this larger conversation. It may not seem like a lot, but this is the first step to effect change.
