Court upholds campus military recruiting law
2006-03-06
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.

#6  I wonder if the LLL will consider this "settled law" like abortion or is it just another chapter of a long fight? I wonder if this applies to High Schools as well or can locals use this ruling? I aint a lawyer so please learn me.

What's the arabic word for a 'pause', which the enemy will assume is a 'truce'?

#5  Good. This wasn't free speech, it was the suppression of speech. You don't ban people and call it free. Good for the court to also say, "You can ban them, you just can't do it on our dime"

#4  P.S. I think the LLL Universities ceded the high moral ground when the let a poorly educated ex-Taliban official into Yale while still banning the U.S. Military.

#1  Unanimous. Let's hope this is the beginning of the end for the LLL control of academia.
