Officials at the U.S. Military Academy say they reached the only decision they could, because the repeal of the policy is not in effect yet.
Katherine Miller left halfway through her stint at the academy in August, saying she couldn't lie about her sexuality. The 21-year-old from Findlay, Ohio, became a prominent face in the debate over gays serving openly.
She re-applied to West Point around the time Congress voted to repeal the law in December. The repeal will go into effect 60 days after officials certify that it won't hurt troops' fighting ability.
Miller transferred to Yale University.
