The Native Hawaiian council of the University of Hawaiʻi system has called for a system-wide walkout among all Native Hawaiian-serving programs in protest over the proposed Thirty-Meter Telescope project.

According to police, the male refused to leave the roadway and “continuously” ran away and evaded officers as they approached him.

The measure is a result of an incident in which U.S. State Department special agent Christopher Deedy fatally shot Kollin Elderts in Waikiki while intoxicated.
