Issue Referral
The committee is asked to evaluate whether a change in Senate terms from two to three years
would improve the overall functioning of the Senate. Issues to consider include, but are not
limited to stability, workload, and committee functioning. Considerations raised include
increasing continuity, balancing new ideas v. continuity, increasing non-senator representation
on committees to increase continuity, and the consideration that a 3-year term will lead to a 6year maximum service limit, rather than a 4-year maximum limit. The committee is asked to
report to the Senate by January 2012.

and will attempt to take key changes to a preliminary vote of the Senate when possible, so as to
avoid the end product having to be considered as a whole. [See Issue 29.12]

Committee on Student Affairs
Minutes
Although Kelly Withe from the Athletics department stated that students were happy with the
new fee, the ASUH student survey indicated otherwise. The big complaint is transparency for
spending the money from the fee. ASUH Vice-President Francesca Koethe told Masters that
ASUH was happy to hear that CSA was interested because ASUH is planning to have another
survey. Masters will ask ASUH to inform the committee when the new survey will be done.
Also, ask Bonniejean Manini for results from the old survey.

Fall 2012 Report

MĀNOA FACULTY SENATE
COMMITTEE ON ADMINISTRATION AND BUDGET (CAB)
This issue was carried over from 2011, when it was sent to the Committee on Student Affairs
and to the Committee on Athletics. The issue surrounded student complaints about the
imposed Athletic Fee and how it is being administered. Although the Committee on Athletics
reported that there was no problem with the fee, the Committee on Student Affairs carried out
its own research, meeting with representatives of the Athletic Department, the Presidents of
ASUH, GSO, the Student Athletic Fee Committee and the Director of Campus Center. The result
of the committee’s work was to assist ASUH and GSO in surveying undergraduate and
graduate students regarding their feelings about and experiences with the Athletic Fee. The
survey was done at the time of Spring registration on MYUH and the results were not available
at the end of the Spring semester. Therefore, the committee tabled any decision on the issue
until the Fall of 2012. During the Fall semester, the committee met with the new President of
ASUH and reviewed the data from the Spring survey. Over 1000 undergraduates and graduate
students responded. The results were overwhelmingly negative with regards to the use of and
satisfaction with the Athletic Fee. Students felt that they were not served by the Fee as they
never or rarely attended any athletic event. They also questioned how the fee was being used
and who was making the decision about that use. We learned that 92% ($879,920 – 2010-2011)
of the fee goes directly to the Athletics Department with no oversight on how that money is
spent. The remaining 8% ($70,394) goes to the Student Athletic Fee Committee. The Student
Athletic Fee Committee solicits proposals for mini grants from students on the campus to utilize
this money to benefit students (e.g. funds have been used for tailgate parties at athletic events,
and for purchasing diving boards for the UH Swim team!) The new ASUH Senate decided to resurvey the students, adding some different questions. At the beginning of the Spring semester
2013, we will have the new data from this survey and will assess what we shall do from that
point.
2012/02/02
Committee on Student Affairs Spring 2013 Report
In the Fall of 2011, the Committee on Student Affairs, along with the Committee on Athletics,
was charged with reviewing how the Student Athletic Fees are spent and the impact of the
mandatory fee on student attendance at athletic events. The chair met with Jan Javinar, Director
of Co-Curricular Activities who reported the following: (1) 92% of the Athletic Fee ($879,920 –
2010-2011) is controlled by the Athletics Department; (2) 8% of the Athletic Fee ($70,394 –
2010-2011) is controlled by The Student Athletic Fee Committee.(The Student Athletic Fee
Committee is made up of: undergraduate representatives, graduate representatives,
representatives of chartered organizations (RIOs), and student athletes.) The 8% given to the
Student Athletic Fee Committee is used for: (1) 4% used for increasing student attendance at
athletic events by:
Enhancing the student experience at athletic events by providing free
parking, snacks, tailgate activities at events; (2) 4% for enhancing campus life in general. Under
this provision, the Student Athletic Fee Committee solicited applications from campus
organizations for use of this fee. The committee invited representatives of the Athletics
Department and the Vice Chancellor for Students Office to come to the committee meeting to
present information about how the 80% of the Fee are being utilized. On November 10, 2011,
Associate Vice Chancellor Alan Yang and Dean of Students Lori Ideta, and Carl Clapp,
Associate Director of Athletics attended the meeting and addressed the questions that the
committee raised. Carl Clapp reported that the majority of the money from the fee is used for
Student-Athlete Travel. The chair met with Kelly Withy, Chair of the Committee on Athletics,

COMMITTEE ON ADMINISTRATION AND BUDGET (CAB)
and was informed that that committee had met with student athletes and that they were happy
about the use of the fee. At the Committee Chair Retreat, the issue of student satisfaction of this
arrangement (beyond the student athletes) had yet to be assessed. Therefore, the suggestion was
that the CSA meet with representatives of the ASUH (President Anna Koethe) and GSO
(President Anjali Nath) to determine if they would like to survey the undergraduate students
and graduate students to ascertain their feelings about this mandatory fee. After
communicating with Bonnyjean Manini, who works with those two student organizations, it
was felt that ASUH and GSO would be interested in surveying students through MYUH during
registration. Even though this survey may not result in a rescinding of this mandatory fee, the
data would be useful when the issue of the fee and tuition increases arise and the students meet
with the BOR. The Chair met with ASUH President Anna Koethe and she invited a
representative from the CSA to the ASUH Senate meeting to discuss the possibility of the
survey. Anna Koethe subsequently informed the Chair that ASUH would conduct the survey
with students and would report out the results to the CSA committee. The survey was carried
out during Fall Registration, using MYUH and the committee awaits the results of that survey
as of this date.

Committee on Athletics
Spring 2012 Report
We were tasked with examining the student athletic fee, so we met with the Student Athlete
Advisory Committee and they informed us that there are many more students attending games
and they are very happy with that. The committee overseeing the fees and does so as follows:
8% of fees are used to improve student athletic experience and UH Manoa organizations can
write grants for activities. The remaining 92% goes toward scholarships and other athletics
related expenses.
2011/8
Senate Executive Committee
Referral
Committee on Athletics and Committee on Student Affairs; The Senate should have an
accounting of how student athletic fees are spent and the impact of the mandatory $50 student
athletic on student attendance at games. For example, how many students are taking advantage
of the free tickets to UH football games? Is there an increase in student use of athletic
department facilities? COA is asked to lead a joint working group with CSA that continues to
examine these issues and report to the Senate on or before February 2012.
