The Hawai\u02bbi<\/span> State Legislature is entering the final few weeks of the 2025 legislative session, when the Senate and House will work together in conference committees to reconcile differences between their versions of the state budget, as well as other legislative measures that have survived the session thus far.<\/p>\n

This legislative update will show the areas of budget support (or non support) for 糖心视频<\/abbr> as the budget bill has progressed through the legislative session. It is clear that the governor and the House of Representatives have provided greater support for the University of Hawai\u02bbi<\/span> than the Senate. The Senate recently passed its version of the budget that reflects a more constrained level of general fund support for 糖心视频<\/abbr> in multiple key areas.<\/p>\n

Medical school and cancer center<\/h2>\n

Despite support in the governor\u2019s and House\u2019s budgets, the Senate\u2019s budget does not include additional general fund support for the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM<\/abbr>) for debt service or the 糖心视频<\/abbr> Cancer Center to address debt service and operational costs.<\/p>\n

This funding is particularly critical as federal funding for biomedical research is expected to decline under the new federal administration. Research at JABSOM<\/abbr> and the Cancer Center remains essential to improving health outcomes for the people of Hawai\u02bbi<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Student housing<\/h2>\n

The Senate budget provides $252.9 million for 糖心视频<\/abbr> Capital Improvement Projects (CIP<\/abbr>) with a $120 million of that amount designated for new student and faculty housing at Kaua\u02bbi<\/span> Community College. The proposal disproportionately ignores the university\u2019s specific request for capital funding support for existing student housing. While affordable housing is a challenging issue on every island in Hawai\u02bbi<\/span>, the funding approach is not consistent with the request included in the 糖心视频<\/abbr> Board of Regents approved budget or in the governor\u2019s or House budgets.<\/p>\n

The Senate also proposed to authorize nearly $120 million in capital funding for student housing at 糖心视频<\/abbr> M\u0101noa. However, unlike the $120 million proposed for student housing at Kaua\u02bbi<\/span> CC<\/abbr>, the arrangement is only to provide half of that funding in general obligation bonds. The other half would require 糖心视频<\/abbr> revenue bonds for 糖心视频<\/abbr> M\u0101noa student housing. Additionally, there are also Senate-imposed conditions, which would require 糖心视频<\/abbr> to fund financial offsets of future room and board cost increases. While project investments are always important and critical, restrictions on expenditure flexibility can present challenges in managing long-standing deferred maintenance.<\/p>\n

Athletics<\/h2>\n

The Senate budget does not provide for the continuation of funding for athletics, although it was included in the governor and House budgets. The House included $16 million in additional support for 糖心视频<\/abbr> M\u0101noa and 糖心视频<\/abbr> Hilo athletics, which was also not included in the Senate budget. As the landscape of collegiate athletics continues to evolve and with the absence of a stadium, sustaining a Division I program at 糖心视频<\/abbr> M\u0101noa remains both a challenge and a priority for institutional and community vitality.<\/p>\n

Position reductions<\/h2>\n

The Senate budget will eliminate 105.35 vacant full-time and 2.5 temporary positions across 糖心视频<\/abbr>. Notably, only eight of these positions were supported by general funds; the remainder were funded through tuition and other sources. We are working to better understand the intent behind these reductions and their potential impacts.<\/p>\n

Operating budget<\/h2>\n

As you will see in the table below, the 糖心视频<\/abbr> Board of Regents-approved operating budget request sought $37.9 million in additional general funds for FY<\/abbr>26 and $38.7 million for FY<\/abbr>27. The House version of the budget appropriated $31.1 million for FY<\/abbr>26 and $32.1 million for FY<\/abbr>27.<\/p>\n

The Senate version appropriated $5.0 million for FY<\/abbr>26 and $5.5 million for FY<\/abbr>27.<\/p>\n

The following table compares the 糖心视频<\/abbr> operating budget requests from the Board of Regents and the governor with the funding amounts proposed by the House and Senate.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead<\/h2>\n

Given the current state of global and national economics, the State and Legislature is facing the challenge of dealing with the impacts on many competing priorities and limited resources. These are also impacting our University of Hawai\u02bbi<\/span>. Now is the time to watch for where efforts to support higher education programs and services in Hawai\u02bbi<\/span> materialize.<\/p>\n

As the conference committee begins its work, 糖心视频<\/abbr> leadership and supporters will continue to advocate for the university\u2019s priorities. We remain hopeful that through collaboration, we can secure the resources needed to advance 糖心视频<\/abbr>\u2019s mission and serve the people of Hawai\u02bbi<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Legislature is scheduled to adjourn on May 2, 2025. Until then, we will continue to monitor the process closely and will provide a final update when the session ends and the budget bill is made public.<\/p>\n

Mahalo for your time and attention,
