Research money is earmarked for specific research studies or projects. Observatories cannot take funding, which for example states it will be used to attempt a photo of a black hole, and give part of it to DHHL. There are guidelines and regulations they must follow, although, admittedly, an argument might be made that DHHL can accurately be described as a type of black hole.
I didn't suggest giving research money to DHHL...
The line is...Think of $600 million + land swaps Not given to the Hawaiians (DHHL) coupled with $430 million in research moneys taken in from telescopes alone for the University of Hawaii last year
I am referencing 2 instances were the AG's office provides Legal council to 2 different agencies ruling against DHHL/Hawaiians. who they also provide legal counsel to.
The AG gives legal counsel to the RCUH re: research money may be lost...
Vassilis Syrmos, UH vice president for research and innovation, said the loss of the TMT, should it come to that, could mean the loss of billions of dollars in research funding for the university
We gotta have that research money
The AG gives legal counsel to the State re: the ins and outs of timely land swaps and repayment of moneys owed...
The AG and the DOT say the Mauna kea access rd belongs to the State. Are these 2 agencies unbiased?
I pose the question again...Is this a display of ignored Conflict of Interest on the part of the AG?... given DHHL, the agency being impacted by these edicts is also getting ALL of their legal counsel from the same AG?
