- Summary:
- University of Hawaiʻi officials have requested that the leases on using the telescopes and the easement over 71 acres on Mauna Kea, be extended for another 65 and 45 years respectively beyond that of the termination of the current lease terms. The environmental and cultural impact on the extension and use of the area are concerns for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation. They insist that cultural and environmental assessments be taken before a decision is made.
