The UH Board of Regents today voted to give a short-term cash advance to the UH West Oahu campus to hold it over until an $18 million loan comes through from the CanAm Group.

The money is part of a $173 million budget to build the campus.

UHWO will pay interest on the $15 million advance, which will come from the University Bond System.
