Support this petition for the resignation or removal of the University of Hawaii President David Lassner and Athletic Director David Matlin
19 UH football players, which includes 9 starters, the starting quarterback and 2 captains, have entered the transfer portal. This ranks the UH football team as number one in the Mountain West Conference for the number of players that want to leave their University’s football program. On January 7, 2022 players, parents and alumni testified before a Senate Joint Committee hearing (Ways and Means and Higher Education). Testifiers cited reasons such as mental health issues which were ignored, abusive language, favoritism, and cultural insensitivity. Furthermore when attempts and appeals were made by student - athletes and their parents to the University to address the situation they were largely ignored and nothing was done.It is also clear judging from the testimony that the Senate has received, similar issues exist with other UH athletic programs, such as the the men’s and women’s basketball programs. Therefore, we, the undersigned, urge the UH Board of Regents to call for the resignation or removal of the UH President, UH Athletic Director and UH Head Football Coach from their position.
