jan 1, 1996 - United States v. Virgina

Description:

"The Supreme Court spoke with uncommon clarity when itdeclared that the men-only admissions policy of the Virginia MilitaryInstitute (VMI), a state-supported military college, violated the equalprotection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In an effort to meetwomen’s demands to enter VMI—and to stave off continued legalchallenges—Virginia had established a separate-but-equal institu-tion, the Virginia Women’s Institute for Leadership (VWIL)."
