I was in the class of 2002, 2nd class with females, so I remember it well. VA tried to take lesson's learned from the SC/Citadel case and follow the recommendations from that case by creating a equivalent college for women - hence the creation of VWIL at Mary-Baldwin College. However, that still didn't satisfy the court.
I have no first hand experience of what VMI was like before I was there, but talking with upperclassmen it did have an impact. Any time you take a school with only one gender and try to integrate the other, you will inherently change the system.

Change can be for the better. When it was all male we acted like a bunch of idiots.

I remember it well. It was an interesting time for VMI. I read the entire ruling. I agreed with the outcome, but not the rationale.

Clarence Thomas recused himself because his son was a cadet at VMI. Who can name when a liberal or progressive judge recused themselves when they had a personal interest in a case? Bader-Ginsberg? Or Obama's gay appointees?
