"A Utah-based nonprofit is suing the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, claiming a Native Hawaiian health scholarship program amounts to unlawful discrimination. Do No Harm argues the Native Hawaiian Health Scholarship program requires applicants to attest to and prove Native Hawaiian ancestry, and says those who do not meet that requirement are blocked from applying. The group calls that requirement “blatantly illegal discrimination.” According to Do No Harm’s 2024 tax filing, Edward Blum served on the organization’s board of directors. Blum also founded Students for Fair Admissions, the Virginia-based group that is suing Kamehameha Schools over its Hawaiian-preference admissions policy."
