Student to appeal Kamehameha lawsuit dismissal
The
Star-Bulletin
reports:
"A non-Hawaiian student has appealed a judge's decision to dismiss the student's
lawsuit to overturn the Kamehameha Schools' Hawaiian-preference admission
policy. In legal papers submitted to U.S. District Court yesterday, attorneys
Eric Grant and John Goemans said they are appealing their case to the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. The much-anticipated move comes less
than a month after U.S. District Judge Alan Kay upheld the estate's century-old
admission policy on the grounds that it has the legitimate purpose of remedying
historical injustices and existing economic woes suffered by Hawaiian
people."And in a
Star-Bulletin
letter,
Lisa Noelani Robbins points out the ironies in the other KS admissions
case.
