The University of Hawai{{okina}}i at Hilo or UH Hilo is a public co-educational university in Hilo, Hawai{{okina}}i, United States.[4] It is one of ten general campuses of the University of Hawai{{okina}}i system. It was founded as Hawai{{okina}}i Vocational College (Hawai{{okina}}i College) in 1941. In 1970 it was reorganized by an act of the Hawai{{okina}}i State Legislature.

The university has been accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges since 1976.[5] It offers thirty-three undergraduate and three graduate degree programs, and has about 3000 students; most are residents of Hawai{{okina}}i, but there are many international students too.

Argument for separation

There has been a growing movement throughout the last decade to separate the Hilo campus from the University of Hawai{{okina}}i system, creating a "Hawai{{okina}}i State University". Supporters of the separation argue that the growing Hilo campus is "shortchanged" by its sister campus in Mānoa and that being independent of the system would allow the college to grow faster, better serve the community, and draw in more money from independent sources. Opponents argue that the state is too small for competing university systems and that financial divisions between Mānoa and Hilo are fair, given that Mānoa places emphasis on research and Hilo places emphasis on teaching. There are also concerns that this movement will hurt relationships between the Hilo campus and the rest of the University of Hawai{{okina}}i system.

A bill was introduced in the 2005 session of the House of Representatives of the Hawai{{okina}}i State Legislature to draft legislation to spin off the Hilo campus as the independent Hawai{{okina}}i State University. The bill was approved by the House Higher Education Committee but no hearing on the bill was planned by the House Finance Committee, effectively killing it. [8]
