The University of Hawaii Board of Regents has accepted David Lassner’s third evaluation as UH president but did not release details on what it says.
The regents met in executive session Thursday at UH Manoa to discuss personnel matters during their monthly meeting and agreed to accept the evaluation that was conducted by some regents, said UH spokesman Dan Meisenzahl.
In a statement, Board of Regents Chairwoman Jan Sullivan said:
“The board unanimously agreed that the president has worked hard to execute this job with integrity and with commitment. He has demonstrated that his actions, whether popular or unpopular, have been guided by what he believes are the long term best interests of the university. He has successfully led the institution through challenging times, and the university is in a better place now than where it was three years ago.
“The Board of Regents would like to take this opportunity to recognize the hard work, dedication and leadership that the president has exhibited during his tenure. Much work remains to be done, and we look forward to his continued leadership in guiding this vital institution into the future.”
The regents named Lassner president effective July 2014 after he served as interim president for nearly a year.
Previously, Lassner had been UH’s information technology executive.
