Court upholds campus military recruiting law
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A unanimous U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that universities that get federal funds must allow military recruiters on campus, even if their law schools oppose the Pentagon's policy prohibiting openly gays and lesbians from serving. | "Don't ask, don't tell" is the common term for the current military policy which implements Public Law 103-160, codified at 10 U.S.C. Sec. 654. Passed by Congress, signed by Bill Clinton. I don't see universities banning him from appearing on campus. |
The high court upheld as constitutional a federal law dating back to 1994 that allows the government to withhold money from universities that deny military recruiters the same access to campuses given to other employers.
