Kamehameha encouraged by suit’s dismissal
Kamehameha encouraged by suit’s dismissal.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled Tuesday that four students challenging the admission policy of Kamehameha Schools cannot sue the school anonymously.
The lawsuit says the students were illegally denied admission to the schools because they do not have Hawaiian ancestry. Kamehameha Schools argues that its admissions preference for children of Native Hawaiian ancestry is legal because the schools are a private institution and the policy is intended to address the social and economic disadvantages of the Native Hawaiian people since the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
