Gov. David Ige announced at a news conference on June 20, 2019 that the state Department of Land and Natural Resources issued a notice to proceed to UH Hilo for the Thirty Meter Telescope project.
More than 200 students, faculty and staff from various Oʻahu-based UH campuses affirmed their commitment to protect Maunakea and their opposition to (TMT).
UH Hilo received 12 new high-end desktops and monitors, along with a new data processing and storage Linux computer system thanks to a donation by TMT.
UH invites the public to provide input on the proposed draft of the administrative rules that will govern public and commercial activities on UH-managed lands on Maunakea.
