It's not only you...
For all the times I have heard/seen Mauna Kea's 'mismanagement' brought up I have never actually heard any specifics. I can only assume that is because it isn't being mismanaged. I would appreciate if anyone was able to direct me toward a list of grievances.

I think it already is with the exception that the telescopes lease from UH/DLNR (maybe Tom could elaborate on the exact nature of this relationship or help provide the sources to do so; beyond trading the $1/y rent for observation time).
I have always been a bit dumbfounded that anyone can just drive right up to these high-tech facilities and walk around without any supervision.
