Considering there are fewer and fewer Native Hawaiians in Hawaii (due to intermarraige), this particular mode of discrimination will fade into history in another 50-100 years.

Private school, I would think they could give preference to any one they choose.

My thoughts exactly. It's a private trust. They can spend their money how they want.

a Hawaiian private school can favor Hawaiian nativesEnough said: It's a private school, case closed. What Congress may or may not want is irrelevant.
The only issue is the fact that private schools aren't generally allowed to admit or deny students as they please.

Very few now have pure Hawaiian blood. The school only requires that you some Hawaiian ancestry. Very prestigious school, and yes, as a private trust they should be able to do what they want.
To: SmithL
Then legally a private school can favor white, Christian or Jewish. Legally. Allowing one group to break the law, breaks the law so it is no longer valid.
I'm still waiting for the gov to give a legal definition of the various races.

"The only issue is the fact that private schools aren't generally allowed to admit or deny students as they please."
- Is it connected to the tax-exempt status?

Key word here, "private".
To: SmithL
If the trust is sitting on $6.8 billion, one might wonder in whose interest it's being administered.
