The University of Hawaii is taking public comment on a plan to hold tuition flat for two years before raising it — short-term relief for students, higher costs later.

• Tuition would be frozen across all ten UH campuses for two years.
• A 5% increase would follow in fall 2029, with another 5% the year after.
• The first public hearing is at Bachman Hall, with oral testimony capped at three minutes per person.
• More hearings are planned at other campuses.

Outlook: The university will weigh testimony before the regents decide, so expect pushback from students over the later increases.
