Non-Hawaiians get scholarships; Trustees right to reject pay raise
The
Advertiser
reports
that "Four non-Hawaiian students will attend college this fall with scholarships
from Kamehameha Schools because of a shortage of qualified candidates of
Hawaiian ancestry."And on another KS
issue, trustee pay, the Advertiser's
editorial
says: "Kamehameha Schools trustees have turned down their first opportunity for
a pay raise since the estate was reorganized in 1999 following allegations of
greed and mismanagement against the former board. We commend their prudence and,
presumably, their sensitivity to the crisis of confidence that brought down
their predecessors, who made annual salaries of $1 million, and perhaps felt
they had to meddle more intensively in the estate's affairs to justify their
compensation."
