My son is in his first year of college in Arizona. ""it's not Rocket Science""...yes, in Hawaii it's difficult to attract and retain highly qualified faculty to lead our state in exceptionally dynamic technological fields. So he goes to Arizona and will graduate in a few years with a degree in advanced technology. He probably won't come home. We need to support our faculty. We are families losing our children. B.

Aloha Governor Ige, My students will suffer if I have to leave for the mainland to afford a proper life for my family. I have put in 10 years at the CC level and am tenured at Manoa, and I am still applying for jobs on the mainland because I can't hope to provide for my family here. Assoc Prof D. B.

Dear Gov Ige: I've brought in $10 million in research funding during my years at UH. Your offer of a 1% increase is insulting. Should I seek another job on the mainland where I could make 20% more? Best Regards, M. H. Add your voice and send the Governor a postcard
Aloha Governor Ige, Please work with UHPA to help keep the university faculty ranks strong. We want to keep our local kids here for college, but how can we compete with mainland universities that are able to retain their best faculty and have world-class facilities? Mahalo for getting involved in collected bargaining. Assoc. Prof. D. B. Add your voice and send the Governor a postcard

The relevant excerpt from this KHON story: More raises likely following teachers’ contract agreement, but how will the state pay for them? “The bargaining team is willing and able to meet at any time, but we were quite firm that the offer that is on the table does not satisfactorily meet the needs of our members,” said UHPA executive director Kristeen Hanselman. Hanselman says the latest offer from the state did not even come close to what the members want, so it [...]
As a Kanaka Maoli scholar, I believe that Hawaii is the place I need to be to do work that matters for my people. I made a conscious choice to be here, but it was not without difficulty. I've lived in the US continent for 15 years prior to my hire at UHM in large part because of the cost. We need competitive salaries and benefits so that choosing to be in this place is not a hardship. I want to stay. [...]
As a faculty member I am not feeling valued by our Governor. We work very hard for very little compensation by the state. It is hard to keep the commitment strong when I struggle to pay my bills. Other colleges within and outside of Hawaii are willing to pay me more for what I do. H.N. from Hawaii Community College Add your voice and send the Governor a postcard
