Women's Colleges: Is Segregation by Sex Still Justifiable Afterunited States V. Virginia? |
77 Boston University Law Review 209 (April, 1997) |
Suppose that a women's college accepted Shannon Faulkner only to discover in September that she was a he. Could the college revoke his admission, much as the all-male Citadel refused to enroll Miss Faulkner? Do women's colleges still have sufficient grounds to exclude men from their undergraduate degree programs?
