Kamehameha admissions policy upheld in court
The Advertiser reports
that "A federal judge today tossed out a challenge to Kamehameha Schools’
admissions policy which gives preference to Hawaiians, saying the policy does
not violate a federal anti-discrimination law so long as it has a narrowly
defined, legitimate justification. U.S. District Judge Alan Kay said
the school’s admissions policy seeks
to address cultural and socio-economic disadvantages that have beset Hawaiians
since the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian
monarchy."
