This survey was a follow up to earlier surveys, conducted in 2009, 2015, and 2016. In 2009, 24 institutions responded, representing a total of approximately 13,000 foreign students. In 2015, 35 institutions responded, representing approximately 10,100 international students. In 2016, 31 institutions responded, representing a total of nearly 12,200 students. The current survey tallied responses from 27 of Hawaii’s educational institutions, representing approximately 10,800 international students. Caution should be used when comparing the surveys due to the different mix of schools, students, and schools’ reporting in these surveys. The total direct economic impact of international students for the State of Hawaii in the 2017 survey was an estimated $225.3 million.

A TOUCH OF GLASS The occasional “ka-thuds” you hear near the intersection of Waialae and 12th avenues in Kaimuki are from cars dipping into a nasty pothole on the mauka side of Waialae, close to the crosswalk. Yes, we all know by now that potholes are a fact of life in Honolulu, but this one poses a hazard to pedestrians as well as vehicles.

  • Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance In
    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012). Senator Inouye’s death brought to an end a political career that spanned nearly six decades, and commenced a new era for Hawai'i political leadership. Quite possibly, this new era has also fractured the succession model. In a 75% minority state, throughout the past 65 years, Americans of Japanese ancestry have managed to gain a stranglehold over the Hawai'i Democratic Party, and therefore the Hawai’i state government itself.
