A skeleton in the closet: single-sex schools for pregnant girls

Article Abstract:

Constitutional scrutiny of schools for pregnant girls will probably not invalidate such schools because of the pregnancy jurisprudence that distinguishes invidious gender classifications from neutral pregnancy classifications. Such schools should not be distinguished from other remedial single-sex schools because to do recalls the history of invidious discrimination against pregnant girls. A law rationalizing the protected status of these schools within equal protection jurisprudence in a manner consistent with the principles of the Virginia Military Institute ruling and deferential to the special needs of students that are gender specific should be passed.

Business schools that beckon blacks

Article Abstract:

Afro-Americans are underrepresented in the upper reaches of corporate management, and US business schools are attempting to recruit more black students. The Council for Opportunity in Graduate Management Education (COGME) was founded to recruit minority business students and provide them with financial aid. COGME enjoyed some success, recruiting 2,900 students and granting 1,900 scholarships. COGME's demise after about 15 years was caused by administrative problems and the fact that some of the member schools had established minority recruiting programs of their own.

Women at law schools dissed, disadvantaged

Article Abstract:

Law schools in general currently operate in a sexist manner skewed in favor of men, their interests, and their manner of thinking. This is a likely cause of the greater success in law school that men enjoy and that two recent studies describe. Women teach few first-year classes, and feminist or family issues receive short shrift in class. Female students are treated condescendingly or ignored more often than males. Schools do little to address women's concerns about such issues as safety after dark.
