The federal and state service academies as well as state schools were pretty much forced to go co-ed because of anti-discrimination laws AND the fact that they are public institutions funded in part through the public coffers. W&L and other privates have Boards of Trustees that vote on this decision. In the Amherst, Williams, W&L cases, the Board voted to go co-ed. H-SC actually took a vote sometime in the 90s and opted to remain all-male.
