- Title
Doe v. Kamehameha: Section 1981 and the Future of Racial Preferences in Private Schools.
- Authors
Schmidt, Christopher W.
- Abstract
The article discusses the court case Doe v. Kamehameha. On December 5, 2006, one day after the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the constitutionality of race-based pupil assignment in public schools, the Ninth Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals has rejected a challenge to the admissions policy of the Kamehameha Schools, a group of private schools in Hawaii that effectively admit only Native Hawaiians. The issue focuses on whether the class of Native Hawaiians should be considered more like a Native American tribal group or whether instead the class of Native Hawaiians should be considered more as a traditional racial category.
