KITV has this report on the University of Hawaii president. Excerpts:

M.R.C. Greenwood has been caught up in the controversy that has surrounded the school ever since the Stevie Wonder concert scam was uncovered.

But was she calling the shots, or was she a victim?

A legal letter claims Greenwood blew the whistle on threats to the school. …

Because of the outside pressure, Greenwood’s attorney stated she was not able to function independently, she was severely defamed and her contract was breached.

Further, because Greenwood reported the threats, she would be classified as a whistleblower and was entitled to financial damages from the defamation, emotional and physical distress and breach;  damages, her attorney estimated, would have exceeded $2 million.

M.R.C. Greenwood and Neil Abercrombie, Jan. 13, 2011, Sheraton Waikiki.
