Court upholds campus military recruiting law
March 6, 2006
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.
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.
