Weeky
article:"The
state’s only public institution of higher education has been abuzz (at
least electronically) since news that UH administration may develop a U.S. Navy
University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) laboratory leaked to the public
last November. The UARC proposal, kept somewhat secret since the Navy submitted
it to UH administrators in mid-2004, would make UH the country’s fifth
university to house such a center under the Department of Defense. The last UARC
was opened 60 years ago."A
Star-Bulletin
article
that I missed in January covers a rally in
which "Hawaiian and anti-war protesters assailed the establishment of a military
research center at the University of
Hawaii."Ian Lind

an open
