UH to conduct accountability study

HONOLULU (AP) — A University of Hawaii Board of Regents task group will conduct an accountability study of the university system.
The news comes in the wake of last year's botched Stevie Wonder concert that was intended to raise funds for the athletic department, but instead cost the school more than $200,000. The problem was that Wonder and his representative never authorized the concert.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports that the $260,000 study will include interviews of UH administrators, legislators and representatives from the governor's office. He says the inquiry is unprecedented in its scope and will focus on financial transactions.
University spokeswoman Lynne Waters says the review is expected to be completed within 12 weeks.
