KS not forced to enroll "John Doe"
The
Advertiser
reports
that the unnamed youth who is the plaintiff in Doe v KS has been turned down in
his request to compel Kamehameha Schools to immediately enroll him, due to "the
general rule that the enforcement of the appeals court decision is left to the
trial or district judge after the appeals process is completed." Since the
student is to be a senior this year, and the appeals process could continue for
over a year, he "may never get a chance to attend the private
school."The article also explains a
bit about the process for KS to request a hearing before an 11-judge panel of
the 9th Circuit. "Although en-banc hearings are rarely granted, some lawyers who
support the admissions policy say the school has a good chance of getting a
rehearing in view of the split 2-1 vote and the significance of the case as it
affects private educational institutions."
