The Virginia Military Institute has decided to start accepting women,
so they will not lose their Federal Funding.

They have implemented a policy stating that the men and women would be
treated equally, and be required to meet the same standards.

NOW, and the ACLU have decried VMI's policy as unfair.

The following quote is from an editorial from the CNN Website.  It
seems to sum up my opinion quite well.

"Talk about a double standard! NOWs reference to VMI's
admission policy for women as being "vindictive" negates
 their expressed goal of pursuing equal treatment of
women. By seeking less stringent standards, they
demonstrate that they are actually pursuing preferential
treatment for women admitted to the Institute. "
