Regents move back Dobelle's termination date

By Beverly Creamer
Advertiser Education Writer

The University of Hawai'i Board of Regents announced today that the effective termination date for its fired president, Evan Dobelle, would be changed to Aug. 14 "in order to allow the parties to continue further efforts in mediation."

Dobelle was fired June 15, but a subsequent letter notifying him of his termination said it was effective July 23.

Today's announcement came in a one-sentence statement following a closed meeting of the board.

Meanwhile, Dobelle remains on administrative leave.

Attorneys for Dobelle and the regents have been in mediation for two weeks.
