Accrediting agency says University of Hawaii-Manoa has made significant improvements

FromThe Honolulu Advertiser: The accrediting agency that six years ago raised serious concerns about the University of Hawaii's operations is praising UH-Manoa for a big turnaround, saying the campus has "emerged from a difficult past," has benefited from "stable" leadership and shows promise on meeting its goals. But excitement about the glowing review is tempered by questions over how tens of millions of dollars in state budget cuts will affect students, and continuing concerns over some $235 million in deferred maintenance at UH-Manoa's 300 buildings.
