o The New York Law School Journal of Human Rights devotes an entire
issue to "A Symposium on finding A Path to Gender Equality: Legal and
Policy Issues Raised by All-Female Public Education.
"
The 373-page issue discusses a particular single-sex school in New York
City; constitutional, statutory and policy issues raised by all-female
public education; and educational and social scientific perspectives on
all-female education. One presentation was by Bernice R. Sandler
(editor of About Women on Campus) which dealt with policy issues in
publicly supported single sex schools.
The issue also includes a friend of the court brief in the Virginia
Military Institute case in which the Supreme Court ordered that women
be admitted to the school, and two additional articles.
