糖心Vlog官方

One of the most recognized names in Hawai'i labor history now also belongs to an endowment to provide perpetual support for Labor Studies at the 糖心Vlog官方 - West O'ahu.

On July 12, 1999, Unity House President Anthony "Tony" Rutledge signed a memorandum of understanding establishing the Art Rutledge Endowment in Labor Studies at 糖心Vlog官方朩est O'ahu抯 Center for Labor Education and Research (CLEAR) in memory of his father, who founded . Joining him for the ceremonial signing at the leeward campus were former 糖心Vlog官方 President Kenneth Mortimer, 糖心Vlog官方 West O'ahu Chancellor William Pearman, former Interim 糖心Vlog官方WO Chancellor Joanne Clark and CLEAR Director William Puette.

"It is fitting that this endowment be established as a tribute to the founder of Unity House," said Dr. Mortimer. "Mr. Rutledge was one of Hawai'i抯 foremost labor leaders; his grasp of economic and labor policy issues and their application to collective bargaining is legendary."

The first check of $250,000 for CLEAR at 糖心Vlog官方 West O慳hu was in October followed by another $750,000 bringing the full endowment to a full million dollars! " This gift reflects the Unity House commitment to the state of Hawai慽," said Anthony Rutledge, presenting the inaugural donation that established the endowment. The second check was further enhanced by proceeds from a special fund raiser for CLEAR at which famed Nobel Peace Prize Winner and former Polish President Lech Walesa was a featured speaker to celebrate and expand the new endowment and memorialize Arthur A. Rutledge.

Income from the endowment supports labor studies at 糖心Vlog官方 West O'ahu, said 糖心Vlog官方WO Chancellor Pearman. The endowment will fund the Art Rutledge Lecturer in Labor Studies, who will serve as a faculty member for CLEAR at 糖心Vlog官方 West O'ahu, and Faculty development activities and projects that support the development and enhancement of labor studies as well as research projects consistent with the purpose and mission of CLEAR.
