News that University of Hawaii at Manoa Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw will be paid $287,400 for a 10-month sabbatical once she steps down from her position this summer has gotten UH faculty and students in an uproar. 

Hawaii News Now reports:

While UH President M.R.C. Greenwood defended the move, it was criticized by UH students, the faculty union and others.

In a deal approved by the UH Board of Regents at their Jan. 19 meeting at Kauai Community College, once Hinshaw completes her sabbatical next year, she’ll go to work at UH’s John A. Burns School of Medicine.   

The medical school will pay Hinshaw $292,188 a year to fill a tenured faculty position she was awarded by a previous Board of Regents when she was hired for the chancellor’s job in 2007.
