Urging The University Of Hawaii To Convene A Working Group To Create A Plan For The Establishment Of A Maritime College And To Establish A Maritime College.
Impact
This resolution emphasizes the potential positive impact on state laws by promoting local education and career paths within the maritime and marine industries. The proposed maritime college would potentially improve economic conditions particularly for underrepresented communities. It would offer various programs not only in maritime studies but also integrate discourse on environmental protection, marine biology, oceanography, and other relevant fields that are critical in the context of Hawaii's geographical and socio-economic conditions.
Summary
HR143 is a resolution introduced in the House of Representatives urging the University of Hawaii to convene a working group for the establishment of a maritime college. The resolution lays out a clear need for a dedicated institution focusing on maritime studies, highlighting the importance of the maritime industry as a critical component of Hawaii's economy and employment landscape. Currently, there is a shortage of licensed mariners in the state, necessitating residents to leave Hawaii to receive the required education for a maritime career. The establishment of a maritime college would allow Hawaii residents to receive quality education locally and would address this shortage directly.
Contention
While the resolution is likely to gain both support and skepticism, contention could arise surrounding funding and resource allocation for such an initiative. Questions regarding the practicalities of establishing a new institution within the University of Hawaii System, and how it will secure accreditation and maintain sustainability, may be points of debate among stakeholders. The resolution also stipulates the involvement of key individuals from various sectors, including transportation and labor unions, indicating a collaborative approach; however, the inclusion of diverse voices may also lead to differing views on curriculum and operational governance.
