HRS §304A-1966

University of Hawaii keeps its legal protections

This section says that any contract, agreement, or statement the University of Hawaii makes under this part does not give up its government immunity or accept more liability than the law allows. Also, nothing the university does or agrees to is a promise that the State will pay for it.

The statute, as written — Preservation of governmental immunity; full faith and credit

No contract, agreement, or statement made by the University of Hawaii pursuant to this subpart shall constitute an express or implied waiver by the university of its governmental or sovereign immunity as a public agency of the State, nor shall the contracts, agreements, or statements constitute an express or implied acceptance of liabilities in excess of liabilities allowable under applicable governmental immunity laws. No activity conducted by the university or agreement entered into pursuant to this subpart shall be deemed a pledge of the full faith and credit of the State.
