Honolulu Civil Beat | UH looks to renew controversial military contract @civilbeat | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
It looks like the University of Hawaii will renew a controversial contract to conduct research for the U.S. military, as reporter Stewart Yerton told Hawaii News Now Sunrise.
Administrators say this contract — worth up to $285 million over a decade — is a major source of funding. Not to mention the civilian jobs that come along with the Applied Research Laboratory.
