The legislature finds the 2012 National Association for Student Professionals Associations book, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Higher Education, documents the growth, diversity, and underrepresentation in various levels of education of this group.

The purpose of this Act is to fund the office of student equity, excellence, and diversity at the University of Hawaii at Manoa to fund five part-time graduate assistant and student employee (2.5 FTE) positions to conduct and disseminate research relating to Asian American and Pacific Islander students in higher education, and to provide direct services to undergraduate and graduate students interested in diversity careers in student affairs and higher education.
SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $190,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2013-2014 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2014-2015 to fund five part-time graduate student assistant and student employee (2.5 FTE) positions to conduct and disseminate research relating to Asian American and Pacific Islander students in higher education, and to provide direct services to undergraduate and graduate students interested in diversity careers relating to student affairs and higher education.
The sums appropriated shall be expended by the University of Hawaii for the purposes of this Act.
