Over 45 federally funded projects totaling nearly $30 million at the University of Hawaiʻi have been frozen or terminated, or received stop work orders as of April 15, according to documents obtained by Hawaiʻi Public Radio. These programs span the fields of medicine, climate science, agriculture, and education — and the cuts are still growing. By Monday, University of Hawaiʻi President Wendy Hensel announced that the cuts had increased to $36 million, and the affected projects to at least 48.
