The Legislature has been on an extended recess since Monday, March 16, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This has been an unprecedented time in the State of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and after close to a two-month recess, the legislative session reconvened on May 11, to address budgetary issues due to the pandemic, and then recessed again on May 21. The 2020 Legislature anticipates reconvening sometime in June to take up other items.<\/p>\n<p>We will all need to confront an inevitable and serious reduction in tax revenues, as we also face new expenditure requirements to address the unanticipated consequences of the pandemic. We all need to think about how to position <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> for economic and social recovery when the worst of the pandemic passes. The University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> has already begun planning and anticipating its elevated role in the near future with different services to meet the new levels of demand.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30020\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30020\" style=\"width: 186px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/young-k-186x260.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"186\" height=\"260\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/young-k-186x260.jpg 186w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/young-k.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 186px) 100vw, 186px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30020\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kalbert Young<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Both the operating and capital improvement projects (<abbr>CIP<\/abbr>) supplemental budgets were passed by the Legislature and are pending governor\u2019s review and approval. Prior to the start of the 2020 legislative session, the University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Board of Regents had submitted a supplemental operating budget request of $28.1 million in general funds. However, due to the decrease in tax revenue in the State of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>, and the uncertainty of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>\u2019s economic recovery, reductions across all state departments occurred, including  <abbr>UH<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n<p>None of the board\u2019s requests were approved by the Legislature. While there were no dollar amount reductions to <abbr>UH<\/abbr>\u2019s general fund appropriations, many full-time equivalent (<abbr>FTE<\/abbr>) position counts were removed by the Legislature. These positions were vacant, but these reductions will inhibit <abbr>UH<\/abbr>\u2019s ability to hire and recruit which may impact services to our students and community. In total, nearly 758 <abbr>FTE<\/abbr> counts were reduced, which is equivalent to more than 11 percent of all General Funded <abbr>FTE<\/abbr>s available to <abbr>UH<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n<table
