Scotus: Vmi

The Supreme Court ruled today that the Virginia Military Institute must admit women as long as it is receiving state funding. The decision also applies to The Citadel in South Carolina. A lower court had approved VMI's establishment of an alternative program at a women's college, but the Court said that this program did not provide an equal education to women. NPR's Nina Totenberg reports.
