The U.S. Department of Education&#8212;the university\u2019s third-largest source of federal funding&#8212;is facing a 50% workforce reduction, which could impact a variety of programs including career technical education and Native Hawaiian serving initiatives. In addition, the National Institutes of Health is proposing a 15% cap on indirect cost for research grants, which could be devastating to biomedical research at <abbr>UH<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I will not stand up here and tell you that everything is fine,&rdquo; said Hensel. &ldquo;I&#8217;m going to give you the real information that we are working through. I want you to hear my commitment to fight as hard as we possibly can for this community to ensure that we limit the impact in every way possible.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2><abbr>Q<\/abbr>&#38;<abbr>A<\/abbr> session<\/h2>\n<p>During the <abbr>Q&#38;<\/abbr><abbr>A<\/abbr> session, Hensel was joined by Vice President for Research and Innovation Vassilis Syrmos, Vice President for Budget and Finance\/Chief Financial Officer Kalbert Young, and attorney Gary Takeuchi from the <abbr>UH<\/abbr> Office of General Counsel. Together, they responded to more than two dozen questions from more than 250 submissions.<\/p>\n<p>Topics included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Academic freedom and free speech protections<\/li>\n<li>Potential cuts to student financial aid<\/li>\n<li>Possible immigration raids on campuses<\/li>\n<li>Status of international students<\/li>\n<li>Protecting Native Hawaiian programs and services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hensel also addressed concerns about diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (<abbr>DEIA<\/abbr>) content on <abbr>UH<\/abbr> websites, refuting claims that the administration had ordered the removal of <abbr>DEIA<\/abbr> references. She clarified that units were asked to assess language in response to federal policies but were never directed to take down content.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The <abbr>LGBTQ<\/abbr> website that&#8217;s been repeatedly referred to, that was done on their own initiative with no conversation from us in advance,&rdquo; said Hensel, who also acknowledged that in some instances, the directions may have been misinterpreted or miscommunicated. &ldquo;This is an emergency situation evolving in real time.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>She reminded the audience that no service on the <abbr>UH<\/abbr> campuses has been stopped as a result of the change in federal policies.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;So in terms of the actual provision of resources, absolutely nothing has changed,&rdquo; said Hensel. &ldquo;If that&#8217;s not true, I want to know about it. That&#8217;s the kind of thing you need to tell me because I will intervene.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>A graduate student later accused her of political doublespeak and censorship and challenged her moral stance. In response, Hensel emphasized the difficult position that the university is in.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I do not have the luxury of making an intellectual argument that doesn&#8217;t affect thousands of people&#8217;s jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars to keep the university open,&rdquo; said Hensel. &ldquo;And every decision that we make will lead to people being fired. And every decision that we make will lead to a significant loss of funding that means students will not be able to pursue their education and have access to equal opportunity.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Hensel ended the forum by thanking everyone in attendance online and in-person saying she appreciated the conversation and promised that it will continue.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We will not always agree, and we will not always come to a conclusion that everybody is comfortable with, but we will talk to each other and we will reach these conclusions as a community,&rdquo; said Hensel. &ldquo;That is my commitment to you.&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hensel provided a stark update on the impact of new federal policies during a March 13 open forum, which was
