Little Talk of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ (Inside Higher Ed)

The U.S. Supreme Court may have unanimously squelched a First Amendment challenge on the part of law schools to a 1994 law tying federal funding to campus access for military recruiters back in March. But it left one door open for opponents of the so-called Solomon Amendment: ââ?¬Å?Law schools remain free under the statute to express whatever views they may have on the militaryââ?¬â?¢s congressionally mandated employment policy, all the while retaining eligibility for federal funds,ââ?¬Â the court ruled in Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights (FAIR).
