Board of Regents

The University of Hawaii Board of Regents is the governing body for the entire University of Hawaii system, including flagship campuses at Manoa and Hilo, community colleges, and specialized research institutes. It sets system-wide policy, approves tuition rates, hires and evaluates the UH President, approves the system budget, and oversees major capital projects. The board's decisions shape the cost, quality, and direction of public higher education for Hawaii residents.

As the governing body of Hawaii's public university system, the Board of Regents' decisions on tuition, program offerings, and campus development affect students, families, faculty, and the broader workforce. Residents can testify at public board meetings and track decisions that affect Hawaii's higher education investment.
