#1 Money before principle Yale? I'm shocked, shocked I say to discover the real issue here. Federal welfare for the academically ~~self-centered~~ gifted.

#4 I keep reading about cases like this and all I can think about is, just what the military needs, another bunch of attorneys.

Isn't the ratio of JAG corps to other soldiers at an alltime high anyway?

#5 Yale = whiney dirtbags. If you dont like the rule, do without the money. Have the courage of your convictions. And its not like they don't have a metric assload of rich alumni to draw on.

Typical ivy leaguers - money over principle.

#6 Yale = Hos. Maybe they can get a job in Durham.

#7 Well...if the faculty was truly that worked up about the eeeeevilllll military types setting foot on their precious campus, they could just do their part to make up the funding shortfall by donating their salaries to Yale and working for free.

(Yeah, like that will happen....)

#8 I wish the government had the balls to say, "Mmm, thanks. We have changed our minds and we won't be putting recruiters in your pitiful school and we are with holding the money anyway. Just 'cuz you suck."

#9 "The fact is we have been forced under enormous pressure to acquiescence in a policy that we believe is deeply offensive and harmful to our students,"

But everyone has their price. And, for us, that appears to be 300 Million...
