I joined Bryan Mayer on a Friday afternoon last month to talk about meat. In 2004, Mayer co-developed the Fleisher’s Craft Butchery training program in New York, pushing the craft butchery movement of the early 2000s into the mainstream.

At 52, two decades after his career as a butcher took off, Mayer is ready to bring his expertise to the Culinary Institute of the Pacific (CIP). Half way through his current 89-day contract as an education specialist, Mayer has already proven to be an asset to the department. His expertise contributes to Roy Yamaguchi’s vision of making CIP a world class culinary institution, and he fosters a connection to Hawaiʻi’s agricultural industry that wasn’t there before.

The Hawaiʻi Triennial, hosted by Hawai‘i Contemporary, is the state’s largest exhibition of contemporary art from Hawaiʻi, the Pacific and beyond. Curators begin scouting artists three years in advance by visiting galleries and word-of-mouth discovery. Artist and KCC instructor Brandon Ng was one of the artists featured this year on Oʻahu from Feb. 15 to May 4, an opportunity he has been working toward for over 20 years honing his craft as an artist and educator.

As more federal funding and measures to promote equity are revoked, it appears as if Trump is trying to destroy higher education. He is certainly trying to gut anything that has to do with the humanities – the academic discipline that helps students learn how to question cultural norms, think about structures of power and establish a moral compass. As a student, and as a journalist, this news makes me worry about my future prospects.

On March 16, The New York Times published an opinion piece by Yale professor Meghan O'Rourke who said, "What we are witnessing is not just an atta ...
