| | Virginia Military District: Information From Answers.com |
 | | Cession of Virginia's (and all the other states') claims over western lands was a condition for ratification of the U.S. Constitution. | | | In return for ceding its claims in 1784, Virginia was granted this area to provide military bounty land grants. | | | The land was never divided into regular townships, as in the Public Lands Survey System, and because persons could select their allotment from anywhere within the district, there were frequently competing and overlapping claims. |

| | Even the District Court, ultimately sympathetic to VMI's position, found that "[t]he Report provided very little indication of how [its] conclusion was reached" and that "the one and one-half pages in the committee's final report devoted to analyzing the information it obtained primarily focuses on anticipated difficulties in attracting females to VMI." Ibid. | | | The Court suggests that Virginia's claimed purpose in maintaining VMI as an all-male institution--its asserted interest in promoting diversity of educational options--is not "genuin[e]," but is a pretext for discriminating against women. | | | This holding did place Virginia on notice that VMI's men-only admissions policy was open to serious question. |
