Investivoq AI Summary
Tokuda criticizes funding rescission: Rep. Jill Tokuda said the Trump administration’s move to rescind nearly $1 billion in funding would include almost $70 million in cuts to Title VI international education programs, affecting Pacific and Asian studies and foreign-language education at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
Programs and students could be affected: The release said UH Mānoa had sought $2.8 million for Pacific Islands and Southeast Asian studies centers, but those grants will not be awarded. It said past cuts had already reduced some Pacific language courses and scholarships, and could affect interpreter training, jobs, and curriculum work.
Tokuda vows to press for restoration: Tokuda said Congress approved the funding and argued the administration should not let it lapse. UH Mānoa Chancellor Vassilis Syrmos thanked her for supporting the university, and Tokuda said she will continue seeking restoration of the funds in the FY2027 spending process.
