Defensive lineman Kennedy Tulimasealii has been dismissed from the University of Hawaiʻi football team for violating the UH student-athlete conduct code.
The code states that “any student-athlete convicted of or pleading guilty or no contest to a felony charge shall be permanently dismissed from the team.”
In regards to his scholarship, the code states “the grant-in-aid shall not be renewed for any successive academic years.”
An appeal process is available.
“We hope that Kennedy will continue his college education and work toward receiving his degree. He will always be a part of the Rainbow Warrior ʻohana and we hope that his recent troubles do not define his life,” UH athletic director David Matlin said.
