Legal Initiative: As chair of the Central Virginia chapter of the ACLU in 1969, the law suit to co-educate the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of Virginia was filed in federal district court in the Eastern District of Virginia. The verdict in 1970 was precedential in the case known by its first-named plaintiff, Kirstein, cited since by eleven of the U. S. Courts of Appeal and numerous times by the U. S. Supreme Court, in establishing the right of women to nondiscriminatory admission to institutions of higher education that are subject to federal law. The decision was also instrumental in racially integrating the University of Virginia. Today UVa's College of Arts and Sciences enrolls more women than men.The full record of Kirstein is being assembled for preservation.
