Disclosure of UH Admin Salaries Sought

The legislature approved again this year a bill, SB 2263, that would require the disclosure of UH Executive Administrative Salaries. The bill is pending signature or veto by the Governor. However, the Regents were considering another special salary adjustment without disclosing the amount of the request prior to approval in executive session.

Attached is the testimony of Executive Director Musto given to the Board of Regents at its meeting on May 29th.  The testimony addresses the issue of general disclosure of excluded, executive administrative salaries and salary increases.  It also questions the retroactive special salary adjustment proposed for UH-Hilo Chancellor Rose Tseng, along with a one-year "professional development leave" that does not require her to return to UH.
