Island colleges bracing for war - Beverly Creamer, Advertiser Education Writer
Hawai'i's colleges and universities, which gain millions of dollars in tuition revenue from military enrollment every year, are already moving to insulate themselves from financial losses if there are hostilities with Iraq or North Korea. And they're setting up policies and alternatives to serve their students — even though those students may be deployed. "If they're driving a tank across the desert, they're not going to have time to think of classes," said Skip Lee, Chaminade's director of Accelerated Undergraduate Programs that are serving about 500 active-duty military people in classes both on and off O'ahu military bases this semester. "But if they're in a support role in an air-conditioned tent in Saudi Arabia, they may by e-mail be able to complete the course with the instructor."
