	Appeals court rejects Hawaiians-first policy - The Honolulu Advertiser (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Kamehameha, the largest private landowner in Hawai'i, had defended its admissions practice as an affirmative action program, but the court majority held that the argument doesn't justify the policy because it places an "absolute bar" on non-Native Hawaiians from enrolling.
		The ruling forces Kamehameha Schools to overhaul its Hawaiians-only preference policy, but the trustees vowed to contest the decision by asking for a larger appeals court panel to hear the case and, if necessary, filing an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
		Kamehameha Schools pointed out that the policy is not absolute because if spaces at the campuses exceed the number of qualified students with Hawaiian blood, the schools will admit non-Hawaiian students and in fact admitted one in 2003.

		The Kamehameha statue in Statuary Hall — a replica of a pair of statues located in Kapa`au on the Big Island and in front of the Hawai`i Supreme Court building in Honolulu — has apparently been the subject of jokes made by Capitol guides and building staff.
		The second is to request that you evaluate the positioning of the Kamehameha statue, which has been placed in an isolated corner of Statuary Hall since its location to the Capitol in 1969, and, if structurally possible, relocate it to a position of prominence in the Hall.
		Anecdotally, at least, the official position has been that Kamehameha was located there for structural reasons; that, as what has been represented to be the heaviest statue in the collection, it was necessary to place him there and that no other location in the Hall would suffice.
