Agricultural sciences bachelor program moved to four‑year campus; cost estimate needs verification
Summary
Committee discussed transferring a four‑year agricultural sciences program from Leeward Community College to UH West Oʻahu and an estimated program start cost of roughly $564,000; conferees agreed to verify numbers with budget staff and roll the bill to the next session.
Conferees reviewed Senate Bill 2802, which addresses establishment of a Bachelor of Agricultural Sciences program originally drafted for a community‑college campus. Members said the bill was amended to transfer the program to a four‑year campus (UH West Oʻahu) and cited a recent university estimate of approximately $564,000 to fund initial FTEs and program costs.
Committee members said they needed to examine the cost assumptions more carefully and asked budget staff to prepare a fiscal packet for finance clearance. The measure was rolled to Tuesday, April 28 at 3:00 PM for further vetting; no final appropriation or authorization was adopted in the session.
