Re: Court rules against Kamehameha Schools admission policy
I don't know why the Estate would want to get involved in something as political as the KSBE issue, since the only reason they are so wealthy is because of the largesse of the ali'i who gave them the land they own today. With the trust itself embroiled in disputes over who gets what portion of the proceeds from the dissolution of the Trust into a for-profit business in 2007, would they really want to jeopardize what they still hold just to make a political statement?
From what I have gleaned from their home page, their main holding in Hawai'i is in Kapolei. They have interests in 14 other states. They are not solely tied to the fortunes of Hawai'i. I keep timing out when I try to see what kinds of grants their foundation has awarded over the years, or the criteria for awards. I'll keep trying to get into that part of their website. Seeing what the Foundation has supported in the past would be a pretty good indication of how they feel about kanaka maoli sovereignty.

P.S. Yes, I knew Roberts was involved in the Rice v. Cayetano case.
