A coalition of protesters who occupied the University of Hawaii president's office earlier this month returned to a locked-down Bachman Hall to accuse interim UH President David McClain of not living up to the agreement that ended the sit-in.

"Dr. McClain has let us down," said Ikaika Hussey, one of the leaders of the protest against a proposed $10 million annual agreement with the Navy to conduct research at UH-Manoa. "We hoped for better from him."

Hussey said the protesters want McClain to expedite the release of e-mails, letters and other memos about the University Affiliated Research Center proposal, and for the university to stop negotiations with the Navy to establish the research center.

The coalition to stop a Navy University Affiliated Research Center at the University of Hawai'i accused the UH administration yesterday of refusing to release important documents, some of which show negotiations were under way in 2003 to bring a Navy UARC to the university."

During a news conference yesterday, Ikaika Hussey, a coalition leader, said interim UH President David McClain is failing to follow through on agreements made when the coalition ended a six-day sit-in and left his office.

"He pledged to support our request for the release of all relevant documentation," said Hussey, reading a statement from the group, " ... but now hides behind lawyers to deny us the very transparency he promised."
