Gov. Ige,

As a newish UH Faculty member, I am torn between staying in a job I love and helping students succeed, and moving to the mainland for a lower cost of living and better compensation. Many of us younger faculty are still paying off student loans. We want to buy homes and start families but we can’t do that if our wages don’t keep up with the cost of living. Who will help our students succeed if faculty continue to leave for better paying jobs??

Respectfully,
S. Gray
