Mississippi University for Women v. Hogan

Men are entitled to protection under the same anti-bias laws as women.

In 1979 Joe Hogan applied to the nursing school of the Mississippi University for Women. The school, located in his hometown of Columbus, granted four-year baccalaureate degrees. Hogan had worked in a medical center since he was eighteen, and was, at the time, a nursing supervisor and a surgical nurse in Columbus. He sought to further his professional skills and receive the higher wages nurses with degrees earned.
