I fully support this change, and it sounds like the graduate student organization has made an excellent case.  Particularly in light of UH's “unique commitment to Native Hawaiians”, it is the right thing to do to accurately reflect history and to make even a small step towards restoring justice.  All students who attend UH should be made aware of the history of the overthrow and the role of Sanford Dole, to gain appreciation of the unjust takeover of the Hawaiian kingdom.  It will be interesting to hear if homeowners support this...  I also take offense at another commenter's accusation of ethnic cleansing through language.  It sounds like Mr. Dole did play a large part in the history of the state.  Surely there is room for REAL vs faux history to be told so students can appreciate the complexity of our history.  Speaking of bleeding hearts - taking a hanai child does not cleanse Mr. Dole's role in grabbing a kingdom and enriching himself from this act.
