The Star-Advertiser article neglected to mention the 2014 State Auditor's report that stated -
"We found that UH has developed several management plans that provide a comprehensive framework for managing and protecting Mauna Kea while balancing the competing interests of culture, conservation, scientific research, and recreation.”

The Historic Hawaiʻi Foundation recognized the UH Hilo Office of Maunakea Management in May 2017 for its outstanding preservation efforts of Maunakea with a Preservation Commendation Award.
