9th Circuit full panel to rehear KS admissions policy case


Advertiser has breaking news that:
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will rehear the case involving a non-Hawaiian student seeking to enroll at Kamehameha Schools.
[...]
The decision essentially sets aside for now a 2-1 decision by a three-member panel of the court that ruled in favor of the non-Hawaiian student on Aug. 2. The majority opinion in that panel's ruling declared that the school admission policy violated federal civil rights law.

This means that the 9th Circuit will rehear the case en banc with a panel of 15 appeals judges rehearing the case.

AP also has a brief story in the Star-Bulletin.

Here's KS' press release.

And here's the item from last year on the rehearing request filing for more background.

Update 2/23: Today's full Advertiser article and Star-Bulletin article, plus a Maui News/AP story and an Advertiser editorial.

Later Update: CNN has a story via the AP, and the Moloka'i Island Times has reactions from Sen. J. Kalani English, Gov. Lingle and AG Bennett.
