Court Orders Citadel to Admit Women, but Provides Escape Clause.

Jaschik, Scott

Chronicle of Higher Education, v41 n32 pA37 Apr 21 1995

A highly divided federal appeals court has ordered that South Carolina allow a woman to enter the Citadel, an all-male military college, unless it establishes a comparable program for women or allows the Citadel to become a private institution. Litigation arose over the Citadel's rejection of a woman applicant. (MSE)
