Pushback: A donor to arts department of the University of Hawaii has pulled more than $40,000 of funding after the department chairwoman organized an anti-Trump rally.
It is pretty clear from the article that the chairwoman was doing the protest on her own time and was not violating any rules of the university. The donor simply felt that if she could express her political opinions to which he disagreed, so could he.

Link fixed! Thank you.
From the article: “‘The increasing privatization is very dangerous for public education, and it could be in this case swayed by funders who will try to redirect what our educational mission is,’ she said.”
So, she thinks that public education’s mission is to encourage protests of Republicans?
I’m certain that she would agree with you!
