A federal appeals court yesterday delivered a devastating blow to Kamehameha Schools' practice of giving admissions preference to students of Hawaiian blood. In a 2-1 decision, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the admissions policy violates federal civil rights laws first passed in 1866 barring private institutions from discriminating on the basis of race. http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050803/NEWS01/508030349 |
