University of Hawaii President David Lassner joined Spotlight Hawaii to discuss the impact the coronavirus pandemic is having on the UH system. Student enrollment appears to be holding steady, but the number change daily. “This is the most unpredictable semester ever. Families are making decisions very late, they're changing their minds. Right now UH Manoa is up a little bit compared to last fall, UH West Oahu is up a little bit compared to last fall, but daily you look at these things,” he said. “I think what's a nice way to say this, is that it's not as bad as our worst fears.” School starts on Monday, but classes will look very different this year. Most will be online whenever possible. “The only classes that we expect to see our campuses are those that involve activities that we couldn't figure out how to move online, so that will be like science labs, students in the healthcare professions, art studios in the arts, those sorts of things will be conducted in the physically distanced manner in accordance with CDC guidelines, state guidelines, country orders, so we basically track through all of those,” Lassner explained. Lassner discussed changes to UH athletics, with no fall sports this year thanks to cancellations from the Big West and the Mountain West Conferences, which UH participates in. He hopes those sports will resume in the spring. “If sports can be played safely, the next question actually is will that be with or without fans,” he said. Lassner also addressed the financial challenges the University is sure to face, with the looming state budget shortfall. He also also spoke about how the UH system is working to support the community, by creating learning opportunities for Hawaii residents. He also highlighted the partnership between the John A. Burns School of Medicine and the City and County of Honolulu, to create a lab at the medical school for COVID-19 research and testing. Lassner says the facility is expected to be operational by Labor Day. “It's focused on increasing testing in underserved populations, in homeless, rural communities, that really don't have access to healthcare. We're also looking at it as research lab that will be able to explore new testing methodologies.”

Dr. Willie Parker was born into poverty and Christianity in Birmingham, AL. He became a doctor specializing in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Iowa’s Carver College of Medicine. He later joined the faculty at the University of Hawaii’s John A. Burns School of Medicine in Honolulu.During his first 12 years of practice, Parker did not provide abortion services for any of his patience. While some of his Christian friends were opposed to it and believed abortions to be immoral, Parker says he avoided dealing with the moral complexity of the issue by not providing the services himself. He did observe other providers perform the procedures, but he kept his distance from the controversial subject by not directly providing services.Things changed when a change of leadership at the hospital led to the end of providing abortion services there. It sparked a crisis at the hospital and a rebellion among some physicians and nurses who saw the necessity of the legal services.When some of his peers decided to create a clinic separate from the hospital where they would provide the mostly poor women the abortions they wanted, Parker came to a personal reckoning with abortion.In this interview, he talks about how listening to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s final speech, delivered in Memphis, TN, the night before he was assassinated changed his perspective on abortion and moved him to get trained and certified so that he, too, could provide the services for his patients.The part of Dr. King’s sermon/speech that moved him, Parker says in the interview, was when the Civil Rights leader talked about the parable of the Good Samaritan. A Jewish traveler had been beaten and injured while traveling. A priest and a Levite pass him but ignore his needs. A Samaritan (considered enemies of Jews at the time) stopped to help.Parker says that it was the Samaritan’s perspective of asking what the fate of the traveler would be if he did not stop to help is what swayed him to change his position about performing abortions — “What would become of my patients if I wasn’t willing to help them?”Parker talks about his decision to leave his faculty position in Hawaii to go to the University of Michigan’s Medical School to get his training and the needs his patients in this interview. The interview was recorded by phone from an airport while Dr. Parker was en route to a speaking engagement about his book which chronicles his life, his faith and his decision to become an abortion provider.
