Requesting the University of Hawaii to offer micro-credentials focusing on the Niihau dialect of the Hawaiian language.

The resolution urges the University of Hawaii to consider offering micro-credentials that focus on the Niihau dialect of the Hawaiian language. It highlights the importance of preserving the Niihau dialect, which has remained distinct from other Hawaiian dialects due to the Niihau community's isolation. The resolution notes the risk of language attrition due to external pressures to integrate new vocabulary and concepts, and emphasizes the need to consult Niihau community members in language revitalization initiatives.
