The University of Hawaii Board of Regents agenda has scheduled this topic for discussion: “Reassignment of James Donovan and Return from Leave With Pay of Richard Sheriff.”
It begins at 9 a.m. Wednesday (Aug. 22) at Windward Community College.
Because it’s a personnel matter, it’s to be held in executive session, however — behind closed doors.
Donovan and Sheriff were suspended because of $200,000 lost in what appears to be a scam over a Stevie Wonder concert.
