This week Governor Josh Green has been working hard to protect Hawaii from federal policies that threaten our schools, families, and communities.

When the Trump administration recently placed the University of Hawaii under investigation for alleged civil rights violations related to antisemitism, Governor Green quickly stepped in personally to deal with the threat to university funding.

Early Tuesday morning Governor Green spoke with White House officials, explaining that while UH experienced some campus tensions during recent global events, the university and its administration are not antisemitic.

Following this conversation, federal officials assured the governor that UH’s funding is secure and the institution is not at risk of losing critical resources.

Federal downsizing also puts UH at risk of losing significant funding for research, educational programs, and Native Hawaiian initiatives — which could result in the loss of thousands of jobs, reduction in technical training programs, and cuts to key services for our keiki.

Governor Green warned that cuts to federal education funding will affect Hawaii’s children and families.

“Eleven percent of our state Department of Education budget comes from the federal government," Josh said. “That is equivalent to 1,100 full-time workers who will be in flux, and we can’t have that. These are the people that care for our kids. Not taking care of them is not an option, so we’re going to have to come up with those resources."

During a recent visit to Washington, D.C., Josh also met directly with federal officials to advocate for our state’s students, educators, and families.

While the full impact of these changes remains uncertain, Governor Green will keep fighting to protect our state from damaging federal cuts.
