Ethnic scholarships and other KS issues


Advertiser columnist Lee Cataluna writes about the "dozens of scholarships for Hawai'i students of specific ethnic backgrounds. Most of them were set up as a part of someone's estate after their death." She asks: "How are these local funds different from the assets willed by Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop to benefit the education of Native Hawaiian children? In two big ways: One, nobody is trying to pull apart these people's wills, and two, the princess had a lot more money. Could No. 2 be the reason for No. 1?"

In a Star-Bulletin article the KS board defends its settlement of the admission policy lawsuit that activists are unhappy with.

Lisa De Mello writes a letter in the Advertiser saying, "I am saddened by this Hawaiian institution that has betrayed its own people. After asking for our support to defend Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop's legacy, you turn your backs on us and settle out of court." Lucy Akau writes a related letter in the Star-Bulletin about KS and Hawaiian identity. Harlan Hughes writes a letter in the Maui News that KS should be helping all Hawaiians, not just a select few, while Ron Zane's letter calls KS and those who support its admissions policy racist.
