- After the arrest of a University of Hawaii alumnus involved in the Capitol Hill riot, the provost pledged to undertake measures to promote equity and inclusion. He announced that there will be a "critical assessment of our policies and procedures with an eye towards equity and anti-racism through the work of the UH Mānoa Commission on Racism & Bias at the campus level, and through our participation in the Equity Action Framework with the National Association of System Heads (NASH) at the UH System level". Results from this are expected in the summer. No mandatory Critical Race Training sessions are yet required of students.
