Advertiser staff
Interim University of Hawai'i Manoa Chancellor Denise Konan is advising against establishing a University Affiliate Research Center for the U.S. Navy at the state university's flagship campus.In light of protests by students and community groups and a 31-18 vote in opposition by the Manoa Faculty Senate, Konan said, "The proposed UARC with the U.S. Navy is not supported by our campus."
"I do not recommend proceeding with the contract and will not send it forward to President (David) McClain and the Board of Regents," she said.
The final decision rests with the regents. McClain said there will be an informational meeting next month, after which he will make a recommendation to the regents.
