Message: Kamehameha Schools and "John Doe"
Settle Admissions Lawsuit
Aloha mai kakou,
We have reached agreement with “John Doe”
to resolve Doe’s lawsuit seeking to overturn
our admissions policy. The terms of the settlement
are confidential. By settling this case, we protect
our right to offer admissions preference to Native
Hawaiians. The plaintiff has withdrawn his petition
for U.S. Supreme Court appeal of the 9th Circuit
Court ruling upholding our preference policy as
legally permissible.
This means that the Circuit Court ruling stands
– our legal right to offer preference to
Native Hawaiian applicants is preserved. Our work
to fulfill our mission and Pauahi’s vision,
on our campuses and in our communities can proceed
without distraction.
