Supreme Court will hear Solomon Amendment case
The Supreme Court today agreed to consider whether colleges and universities may bar military recruiters from their campuses without fear of losing federal funds. At issue is a provision in a 1994 law that requires schools to give recruiters full access to their students or face the loss of federal grants and contracts. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of 25 law schools that restricted recruiters who were protesting the Pentagon's exclusion of openly gay and lesbian people from military service. The appeals court believed linking funds to access infringed on law schools' free speech rights. (Thanks Bertie)
