Small kine joking but if he was the AD Maybe he could somehow work with the government to get "His Rail" to run from Kapolei to Manoa and thus connecting the 2 campuses and eventually having an onsite stadium out in Kapolei
What happened to my Abercrombie suggestion? 8) We need someone with UH background who thinks they are higher up than anyone there, BOR included, to put the fix on the entire system... top down, bottom up. Because until that's done, nothing will change at lower campus. None of the above can accomplish that.
Mufi looks more like us than Abercrombie. :-

Mufi has shown he's capable of raising funds. He knows the community.

No need any committee. Chose Mufi! :hello1:

I don't know anyone that does not like Shoji. Riley Wallace is also a good guy.

I would form a committee of Shoji, Wallace, and June Jones and have them select the next AD.

All three would volunteer if asked. So we do not have to pay them anything.

Actually we need a package deal.. a UH president, Chancellor and AD ... like minded, progressive, proactive, all with a good sense of priorities and understanding that more positive public interest is the only way to really grow the University and bring it up a few levels.

Need to make Athletic department like the coaching staff. With a change at the head, athletic department staff should be made to reapply for their positions.
Not doubting, not hating, not loving, just hoping because I am a fan.

The AD needs to be a guy who really want's to take the program to a higher level and isn't afraid to butt heads with upper campus even if might mean being fired. So, s/he has to be pretty much financially secure already. Has to know what to expect, how difficult it is to manage things in Hawaii... where to get funds... and where to get political clout.

Mufi would put a local face on the program(s). Neil and June are too old.
