Proposed merger at UH draws fire By Craig Gima POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Sep 10, 2009

An advisory committee to University of Hawaii at Manoa Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw is endorsing a proposal to combine the School of Travel Industry Management with the Shidler College of Business........In another e-mail yesterday, students and TIM school alumni began a petition drive to stop the merger with the business college. Former TIM Dean Chuck Gee, a member of the UH Board of Regents, said he is "not surprised" at the opposition to the merger. Gee, who as dean led the effort to make the TIM school independent, said he couldn't comment on the proposal to combine the schools because it may come up before the board. But, Gee said, "at the time we separated, it was in the best interest of both the profession and the industry in the state.".......click to read the complete story

There should be no cuts and reorg until we see cuts and reorg in administrative levels. Tell us how many assist. VC and staff does the Chancellor and each of her VC has. What is the cost of these people who do not teach, conduct research, perform outreach, etc the major functions and roles of the university. Then add to this, the support staff, the cerical. ComeOn, lay it out and tell the truth. Even their own salary reduction was a just turning "down" increases given to themselves in Jan. inspite of the knowledge of budget crisis.

Sad to see that one of the most highly-regarded schools internationally at UH, Travel Industry Management (TIM) is being gutted. There is surely more to this latest UH debacle than we now know. As far as some grads "not being able to get a job", given the international economy this cannot be a surprise and I'm certain this is true -- but not only at TIM. No, given the historical and highly-political decision making "process" at UH, one might be suspect of this current situation. By Formerly undecided, Oahu

As a manager within Hawaii's tourism market, if I had to choose between hiring two applicants, one who had a business degree and one with a TIM degree, I would choose the TIM graduate. Tourism evolves rapidly and to keep up with current trends the TIM school should remain autonomous to benefit its students. Numerous countries have their own tourism ministries and many more are developing government agencies like Abu Dhabi, South Korea, and Shanghai who are being trained by TIM professors. To watch such officials choose UH's TIM school after evaluating programs from Florida International University, UNLV, and Cornell, it goes to show that the TIM school is one of the top tourism schools in the world and I'm proud to work with their graduates as well as hire them. Aki, Wahiawa, HI

I will pick a business graduate with TIM Degree requiring practical experiences prior to graduation.

The TIM School at the University of Hawai'i is an assett to the Hawai'i industry; an industry which is the backbone of the economy of Hawai'i. There is no other economy by which our current population can be supported. As a School of the State, the University of Hawai'i has a responsibility to educate and offer quality programs that specialize in the arena of Travel Industry Management in order to create an educated force in the industry. Those who have graduated in recent years and have had poor success in obtaining work in the industry are the result of an overall declining economy, not the result of poor education. There is also a matter of personal drive something which some people just lack. The TIM school may not claim more jobs than Schidler School of Business, but the TIM School does create an intimate learning atmosphere that is comfortable for students, and allows them to thrive. The school is backed by numerous industry names such as Starwood, Horizon Lines, and Hawaiian and support grows with each student and network. It is an asset to the University, to the State, and the future of the Hospitality industry which historically never fails, but does (as it is now) go into a recession.

Just out of the clear blue sky combine the School of Travel Industry Management with the Shidler College of Business. This is what they get paid to think up?? Two opposing philosophies.

Merging the TIM School with the Shidler Business school is a mistake. Understand that under the circumstances, this proposal has been brought up, however, it would not be beneficial to the students who know that they would like to pursue a career in TIM or do not know what career to pursue just yet. In the state of Hawaii, when the biggest industry that runs Hawaii is tourism, how can you combine this internationally recoginized program. For those who state that the TIM school alumni do not get jobs, ask the former students who are now general managers of some of the world's top hospitality companies. There was a reason why the TIM school broke away from the Business in 1991. These are two different programs that focus on two very differnt kinds of business. Proud TIM Alumni

katz wrote: The TIM program has not done much for it's students. Combine it with the School of Business. I know graduates from the TIM program that cannot even get a job. The educators in the TIM program are famous for their parties and traveling. They should focus more on educating and supporting their students so they can gain employment upon graduation. Every program has to sacrifice. Why shouldn't TIM? Also, why are the Dean's in TIM paid so high? The last Dean made over $200,000 and the interim Dean makes over $150,000. What is the justification for that? Actually the TIM school has one of the best if not the highest rate of employment upon graduation, compared with any program on campus (partly due to rigorous internship requirements overlooked by Shidler). If you look at the statistics, even in the chancellor's reports, the school is thriving. The merger won't improve the TIM student's educations nor open up opportunities for employment. TIM students know that and are rising up in strong opposition. Mark Ing, Honolulu, HI

UH TIM School’s management program is recognized as one of the best travel industry management programs in the world. Many oversea student s come to Hawaii and study in UH TIM school. However, Shidler is not one of the top business schools over the world. Whenever people mention about business school, people will only mention UCLA, etc. Historically, TIM school students use so many affords to build up UH TIM School’s international reputation and recognition. Moreover, most of the TIM School graduates are now working in top management position in most of the world known hotel all over the world. IF TIM school merges with Shidler business school, I don’t think it will benefit TIM students. Business School will not able to provide the TIM environment and culture to students which however is a very important part for a TIM school student. Many people have misunderstanding about TIM school. They think TIM school is a damn and easy major. However, I don't agree with that. Why TIM school can be internationally recognized should have its own advantages. From curriculum to college culture, TIM school has so many differences from business school. I think non TIM students cannot judge on this merging issue since people don’t understanding how TIM school different from other college. It is representing Hawaii. How can a tourisms famous state cut of their representing major/ college. Talking about TIM student cannot get a job; we cannot guarantee that all TIM students are very outstanding and excellent. Few TIM student s may not be very outstanding and excellent. I think every school has the same situation. Not everyone is perfect. The world is moving forward. TIM school cannot go back to the past. The past has already pasted. People have to move forward. Wanna say sth, Ewa Beach, HI

The merger of the school of Travel Industry Management and the Shidler College of Business is ridiculous. The TIM school serves as the leading research center for tourism in the Pacific and is one of the few travel schools in the nation. As the college that feeds Hawaii’s number one industry, it should not be cut down to be placed within the business school when it has gained International recognition as one of the top institutions for Tourism, and is one of two colleges from the United States recognized by the World Tourism Organization for its tourism curriculum. It is also one of the most efficient schools on campus in terms of savings and budgets. The merger would mean the loss of half the current student body of 400, loss of faculty members, its accreditation, and funding.

Very few of them found decent jobs in the industry, let alone any in management roles. Although it was groundbreaking back then, I had my doubts that it was a degree that, unto itself, would garner much respect. I am not sure anyone in the travel industry knew exactly what the degree centered around or what skill and knowledge sets it actually endowed it's holders with. At Chaminade it was looked upon by most of the students at the time (again back in the early to mid-1970s) as an empty bucket. Sadly, I think the travel industry itself had the same reaction. No one ever took the degree seriously. The school of TIM should be merged into the School of Business and all degrees should be business degrees, getting rid of the TIM degree. It has always been looked upon as a "one-off" degree with little respect. Excuse me but you don't know anything. The tourism and hospitality field is one of the number one money makers for the US aside from the government... There is no "little respect" in that. Get your facts right.

Did get into bottom rung management, did have some opportunities, but we saw as far back as the Eastern Airlines mess that the Travel Industry was going deregulated and costs driven. When the industry quit paying agents, laid off and slashed workers salaries and drove union shops out of business, it was already to late. The final straw for me came when I was managing a 4 star hotel that has a monopoly on an international airport site, and my boss who'd been there a dozen years more than me made less than a dollar an hour above my own pay. TIM is a dead profession. it just shows that the Travel Industry wasn't for you. Only certain people can stick it out and love it. Sucks for you. TIM Supporter, Honolulu, HI

What an immature thing to say. TIM degrees are making way more than Business degrees. I know most business degree people try to find a job within a hotel cuz they can't make it in the business world with their degree. John, Honolulu, HI

The facts are, TIM is merely an offshoot of customer services, any customer services based business requires similiar management inquiries and decisions. What about TIM justifies a separate school? Nowadays booking online isn't done over exclusive, mainframe networks. Nor do airlines, hotels or packagers restrict access to their products to industry outlets only. While I still use an agent for overseas travel, simply due to the fact that with one of the few remaining, large agencies, you have insured options that you MAY not be able to get on your own, they are for the most part a redundancy for any savvy traveler, who knows what to look for and can plan effectively. I met only one other TIM graduate who was a property manager in the 10 years I worked in hotel management, most owners or groups hired from in house by experience and track record, or hired that person who had the accounting and bookeeping know how to be able to handle the reciepts. Something TIM students DON'T have. Business schools or even office administration courses go far more into the technologies, protocols, and edicate required for proper client management. TIM was always a specialization, and therefore limited in scope. Business or OA is far more inclusive, and it shows by how many actual company executives are TIM grads compared with traditional business and management career paths. quebert, Bowling Green, KY

Responding to Quebert Bowling Green KY - Apparently your exposure to successful TIM grad is very limited. Your understanding of the TIM Degree was mislead. Using your example, if I am a friend of Bill Gates, should I tell the world that no one should go to college because Bill Gates became successful without a college degree? If I do that, I will be extremely short sighted. I have the pleasure working with 100s of UH TIM Grads worldwide in executive positions contributed their successes to the UH TIM Degree. Let us all remember, whatever degree you acquired provided you the foundation, the entry ticket to a job or career, the rest is up to you. Proud TIM Grad, Honolulu, HI

quebert wrote: Yeah, a TIM degree that none of my employers ever gave a rat's **** about, I started at the bottom, right along with all the non educated workers and had to earn my way in, so the time I spent in TIM, while beneficial, wasn't required. BTW lacking accounting and other skills, I had to go back and earn a Business Management degree before I was able to carry the weight of higher positions. You don't learn from the TIM Program does not mean it is a poor program. How would you like your employees left your Company and tell the world that your company is not good? May be the problem is with the employee and not the Company? Think about it! Proud UH TIM Alumni Honolulu, HI

The TIM school is not a joke. I graduated at the age of 30 as a single parent with 3 kids. Got a great internship during school which allowed me to get a great mgmt position after graduation. The TIM school classes were not easy, nor was my final project. As I had an emphasis in hotel mgmt that was what I wanted to do. The TIM School should not merge with the business school. The TIM school at UH is internationally known and we have students graduate and get great jobs all over, not only in Hawaii. Andrea - TIM Graduate, Honolulu, HI

What’s the bottom line with respect to the proposed merger of TIM into the CBA? I personally believe that merging the TIM School into CBA is not in the best interests of the University of Hawaii nor the Students. Tourism is unquestionably one of Hawaii’s largest and most important industries. The travel industry field has changed so much in the past few decades and certainly, since the BS was established. All the core classes in TIM are now taught focusing on hospitality and tourism with specialized textbooks and faculty trained in the hospitality field. This was not the case when I received my TIM degree in ‘1974 under the CBA and all the students had the same core courses. In the CBA the core courses are still primarily manufacturing based and with limited orientation to the service industry. It seems that a graduate from the CBA now in 2009 cannot be expected to be trained to compete on the same level with a current TIM graduate for good jobs in the hotel industry. It's an interesting to note that the TIM School now seems to enjoy an almost 100 percent placement rate. If they were to be merged with the CBA; this competitive advantage through having their own curriculum would most certainly be lost in short order. A merger will end up with expensive losses in due course primarily due to the unintended consequences of hidden costs significantly more than considered by the advisory panels who initially examined this. Joseph D. Pluta, Maui-Hawaii BBA-TIM -1974

As Mark Ing stated, it is important to look at the facts before making judgment. In regard to the Singapore program, accreditation was denied when Walter Jamieson was still Dean of the School. Denial was not based upon the lack of leadership. The $800,000 was a loan from the Singapore government that had to be repaid. Financial projections estimated that losses from the program could range from $1.2 to $5.2 million. Other universities already have had to repay millions of dollars for not meeting the restrictive conditions of the loans from the Singapore government. University administrators went forward with the program without a sound academic plan that was approved. The program in essence was not feasible due to the incompatibility between the British and American educational systems and standards. In January 2009, a report on issues regarding the Singapore Program was completed and approved by the TIM faculty. Fact finding

They'd ask what they could do themselves to cut the budget before putting the students' education on the line. Why make the students' suffer just so that they can keep their luxuries?

You obviously don't understand why our industries are different. We learn about financial management and accounting in a more narrow sense. We learn about the machines that run our hotels, the contractors that we will need to work with, the guest folios that we will need to review. Anyone can get a business degree and do anything with it. With a TIM Degree, we are saying we are dedicated to working in our TIM industry. Employers of the TIM industry would much rather hire a TIM grad than a Business School graduate. Where do graduate students intern? NOT at hotels. We intern in hotels and the departments we want to work in. We are a completely separate entity of the Business School, and that goodness. It seems to me like the Business School kids must all be snobs for thinking they are much better than us. They are sadly mistaken. My TIM school fried is in a great management trainee position on the mainland, while my business school friend waits tables at Bubbas. I'm 100% behind the TIM school staying independent. Keep on pushing TIMSA, PATA, CMAA and Po'okela. Rally our students and keep them motivated and passionate about our school and unique education opportunity. Pround TIM Alum

Reading through all of these comments really gets me worked up (and not in a good way). A lot of people are saying negative things about the TIM school here. I think that those people should take the time to really understand what goes on at the TIM school. The TIM school is a top rated, internationally recognized program. To say things like "the TIM program should be cut" is really naive of people because I don't think that they truly understand all that the TIM school does. I think that this decision should be left to to the TIM students, the real victims of this situation. People on the outside don't know what goes on within the TIM school and aren't qualified to make judgements about it. In response to Quebert from Bowling Green, KY: It's not the TIM school's fault that you didn't learn anything in school. Just because you graduated from there and weren't able to get the kind of job you wanted doesn't mean that you should be blaming the TIM school. You should be blaming yourself for not working hard enough to achieve your own goals. And for your information, TIM students are required to take courses such as accounting so I don't see why you would lack those kinds of skills had you actually worked hard in school and paid attention. To me, it seems like you were just one of those people who barely passed and now you're just trying to put the blame for your own mistakes on someone else. GO TIM SCHOOL, Honolulu, HI

Maybe UH should have a 4 year degree in bus-driving. Apparently, you aren't aware that driving a tourism bus is part of our industry of TIM. TIM is not only limited to hotels, but the industries that support tourism as a whole, so those bus drivers fall under our umbrella. We have two sections of our school hospitality and transportation. Don't make snide comments about things you know nothing about. Proud TIM Alum

I am very proud to say that I am a TIM Alumni. I have met at least 5 TIM graduates in my hotel alone. 2 who are much older, and much further in their careers, so they have wonderful management solutions. The 3 others are all in administrative positions waiting and wanting to move up. We entered the TIM School because this is our passion. The TIM Industry is all around us in Hawaii. We are more than guest service, we are about making an industry run and support our islands. If the TIM School were to merge with the business school, many opportunities would be lost and our students would become just another business student. When I was in school, I was proud to say I was a TIM major, and am proud now to say I am a graduate. Ask students in the TIM School what we want to do with our degrees, and most of us already know. Ask students in the business school, and a lot of them have no idea. They just want a degree with a good name. Team TIM School

Speaking from personal experience...I have gone through the rigorous studying of getting into the Business school. I was even told that seeking a BBA in management is something anybody can do just by working their way up...but yet the Business school offers a degree in Management. There are similar requirements in which both TIM and Business students are required to take...and I do agree that it may be a joke that there are classes in which are changed to fit the context just for TIM students. But out of understanding, it helps students within the TIM school to relate to these teachings and apply them directly to the hospitality companies. I have not once in the Business school found myself seeing the Professor's relate the context to any companies (unless is was about Enron)...it was vague and generalized. You might bash me that I may not have taken the best professor's, but in actuality I have...and student's in the Business school can agree with me that the Professor's there are knowledgable. But have a bit of understanding that the TIM students have a culture within the school that the Business school can not offer. Everyone who disagree's with the merger is only helping the TIM school, which is GREAT! We need to continue moving forward... PROUD TIM STUDENT, Honolulu, HI

If UH really wants to cut costs, merging the TIM school and Bus.Ad is not the best idea. The TIM school is one of the most self efficient schools on campus (102%), with one of the lowest budgets it receives from the university. Working on the efficiency of other schools, down around 50% and less, should cut much more costs than merging the TIM school. The TIM school also has many connections to the public - and is well known world wide as one of the few Travel Industry Management schools in the US. The TIM school is actually a school that calls people in from all over the world into UH, just to come to this school. If it gets merged into the Bus.Ad those students as well as the famous name would be lost. In addition, this whole proposal remains very hidden, as the TIM school had not been part of this whole plan at all. Unless there is a very good reason to merge the school, that the chancellor can explain to the public, I would have to say this proposal seems very unnecessary and ineffective. bubbles, Honolulu, HI
