Will SCOTUS ruling on race/schools affect KS?


Advertiser looks at the potential impact on Kamehameha Schools of the SCOTUS ruling that "the use of racial guidelines to integrate public schools is unconstitutional." Rosen says it will have an effect, "But Kamehameha Schools officials don't think the ruling will have any effect because the decision involves public schools and Kamehameha is a private school that doesn't accept federal money."

Update 7/2: Star-Bulletin editorial looks at the differences between the case and KS's situation, and says "The constitutional issue has no bearing on private schools." But says that "the court's general outlook on racial issues may create problems for Kamehameha if a new lawsuit is launched against its admission policies," and recommends that KS stop charging tuition in order to avoiding the pertinent issue of contracts regulated by the Civil Rights Act.

Update 7/4: Rosen responds.
