Neglect of UH campus appalls senators

Fixes to UH classrooms would likely take priority over athletics

Senators were appalled at unfinished football coaches' offices and aging athletic facilities. But they also saw a lab at Gartley Hall that was recently flooded by toilet water from the men's bathroom above it, and classrooms and offices at the University Lab School that only meet electrical and safety codes from the 1940s, the last time any major construction was done in the wooden building.

We need to rebuild our campus at Manoa," she said, noting that 37 buildings on campus leak. "Keeping us even is not a good strategy."

Appears to me there needs to be some head chopping first. But then again, when was the last time a government employee lost his or her job due to poor work performance??? :wink:

My guess is that this is the tip of the iceberg of something far worse. I suspect they have been appropriating money for improvements for years that have not been entirely used as they should have been used. When they don't have money for locks on the doors, it sounds like someone had a hand in the cookie jar.

THere sure have been a bunch fo reports that money was appropriated but the improvement has been done.

It is horrible to see it and hear it because the school is in some serious serious trouble at the moment. Especially since Manao is only one of the campuses...if too much money is sent there to fix the problem, the other campuses will suffer
