To gather data for reviewing personnel practices and responding to inquiries from various agencies, a study was conducted of the characteristics of the professional personnel in six of Hawaii's community colleges. The study focused on full-time Board of Regents (BOR) appointees, but also provided minimal information on lecturers, part-time BOR appointees, and professional staff on leave.
