Connecticut Veterans Legal Center Military Service Academies

On behalf of the Connecticut Veterans Legal Center, students in the Veterans Legal Services Clinic prepared a report analyzing the gender disparities in congressional nominations to the U.S. Military Service Academies. The clinic filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to obtain nominations data from the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy, and the U.S. Military Academy. The project built upon previous clinic students’ work for the Service Women’s Action Network, described here. In addition to releasing the summary report, the Veterans Legal Services Clinic has made the underlying FOIA data available to the public through the links below. The documents have been uploaded in the form that the clinic received them from the academies’ FOIA offices.
