Regents support amendments to UH’s Maunakea management plan

A University of Hawaii Board of Regents committee has voted to support amendments to the Maunakea management plan. These changes would permit the reuse of decommissioned observatory sites for future astronomical facilities. The university is preparing to transfer management responsibilities to the Maunakea Stewardship and Oversight Authority by 2029, following years of public tension regarding the summit's use for scientific research.
