University of Hawaii

The University of Hawaii System is 該州's public higher education system, comprising 10 campuses including the flagship research university at Manoa, three liberal arts universities, and six community colleges serving students across 該州. The system is governed by the 校务委員會 and receives a significant portion of 該州 operating budget, which it uses to educate tens of thousands of students annually, conduct research, and provide community service programs. UH sets tuition rates, academic programs, and strategic priorities for higher education in Hawaii.

The University of Hawaii is the primary pathway to higher education for most Hawaii residents, and its tuition, programs, and research directly affect economic mobility and quality of life across 該州. Students, faculty, 社区成员, and employers can engage with UH governance through board meetings, 公众评论 processes, and advocacy with 州议会 on higher education funding.
