In the Advertiser's list
of Top 11 Stories of 2003, number 6 is "Assault on Hawaiian interests: Pending

Hawaiian preference policy at Kamehameha Schools resulted in admission of a
non-Hawaiian student. At this awkward moment, Kamehameha CEO Hamilton McCubbin
was ousted. The social disruption that would result if all these programs are
simply dismantled would be unimaginable."
