Salt in the Wounds on Solomon Law

Inside Higher Ed: "Law schools waged a long battle against the “Solomon Amendment,” a measure enacted by Congress to withhold federal funds from institutions that limit military recruiters’ access to campuses, which many law schools have done to protest the Defense Department’s discriminatory policies toward gay people. The Supreme Court unanimously rejected the law schools’ arguments last year and said Congress was within its rights to pass the measure. Because most law schools are attached to universities receiving millions annually in federal funds, career centers that had been closed to all employers discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation have had to make an exception for military recruiters."
