The University of Hawaii is asking the Legislature for an additional $75 million to operate its 10-campus system statewide for the fiscal year that begins July 1 after its budget was sliced last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Last year the Legislature approved a budget that axed $47 million in general funds from the UH budget. UH saw a total budget reduction of 10%, with UH Manoa – the main campus – impacted the most.
