You Harvard punks - now you have to either stop taking Federal funding for your 'special' projects or allow recruiters back on campus:
Supreme Court Upholds College Military Recruiting LawWASHINGTON - The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday that colleges that accept federal money must allow military recruiters on campus, despite university objections to the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays..
Justices rejected a free-speech challenge from law school professors who claimed they should not be forced to associate with military recruiters or promote their campus appearances.It's always stymied me as to why these colleges/universities are soooooo fearful of students being exposed to information about military service.....when they have no problem with taking money from the government and still talking smack about the military.Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the decision, which was unanimous.
Law schools had become the latest battleground over the "don't ask, don't tell" policy allowing gay men and women to serve in the military only if they keep their sexual orientation to themselves.
Many universities forbid the participation of recruiters from public agencies and private companies that have discriminatory policies.
Roberts, writing his third decision since joining the court, said there are other less drastic options to protest the policy.
"A military recruiter's mere presence on campus does not violate a law school's right to associate, regardless of how repugnant the law school considers the recruiter's message," he wrote.
The federal law, known as the Solomon Amendment after its first congressional sponsor, mandates that universities give the military the same access as other recruiters or forfeit federal money." title = "Supreme Court Upholds College Military Recruiting Law">Supreme Court Upholds College Military Recruiting Law

Now you sanctimonious hypocrites have to play nice or drum up funding from other sources....and you'll note that this wasn't a 'split' decision - it was unanimous.....even the liberal members of the court recognize just how stupid your argument was.
