text: RE UH and Autonomy.  In a mild way, the Leg backed away from trying to run the UH, in violation of the State Constitution.  The absurd and micromanaging budget provisos of last year, transferring the College of Ed to West Oahu, etc. were explicitly rescinded.  The Leg declined to over ride the Regents with a tuition freeze.  The Promise tuition offset program for lower income students was put into the budget without the leg trying to second guess student behavior and needs in a pilot program.   New chairs appear to appreciate and respect the UH a little more.
