RICHMOND, Va. AP – The governing board of Randolph Macon Woman’s College broke a contract with students when it decided in 2006 to immediately begin enrolling men, a lawyer for a group of female students told the Virginia Supreme Court on Monday.
Attorney Wyatt B. Durrette Jr. urged the court to reinstate the students’ breach of contract lawsuit, which Lynchburg Circuit Judge Leyburn Mosby Jr. dismissed last year. Durrette said documents provided by the school – including promotional materials, admission letters and the academic catalog – touted its single-sex education mission.
