 Kamehameha School Racially Exclusionary Admission Policy, and Tax-Exempt Status, in View of Rice v. Cayetano
Kamehameha Schools, formerly known as Bishop Estate, has assets somewhere between $6-15 Billion, and is the largest private landowner in Hawai'i.
But although the princess donated huge tracts of land, some of which were very valuable; her husband, the haole Charles Reed Bishop, donated far more money to Kamehameha School than the value of all his wife's land; and in addition he established Bishop Museum and donated large sums to Queen's Hospital.
It's no secret that Bishop Estate today (i.e., Kamehameha Schools) is strongly supporting the Akaka bill, perhaps because they hope to re-incorporate under the Akaka tribe to protect both the racially exclusionary admissions policy and to get total tax exemption for all business activity.
