1 Copyright © 2021 Pearson Education, Inc.Court Decision 2.1 United States v. Virginia
518 U.S. 515 (1996)
Procedural History: The United States of America sued the Commonwealth of Virginia.The Western District of Virginia ruled in favor of Virginia. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated and remanded. On remand, the Western District approved a remedial plan and the Fourth Circuit affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.Facts: The Virginia Military Institute (VMI), a state college, refused to allow women to attend the school. The United States of America sued the Commonwealth of Virginia alleging constitutional violations.Issue: Does VMI’s failure to admit women constitute a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the United States constitution?Holding: Yes. The exclusion of women at VMI is an Equal Protection Clause violation.Reasoning: Heightened or intermediate scrutiny applies to cases of gender discrimination under the Equal Protection Clause. The test requires that the gender classification serves “important government objectives” and the discrimination is “substantially related to the achievement of those objectives.” The exclusion of women at VMI fails to satisfy the requirements of the test.
