Students Protest Army’s ‘Don’t Ask’ Policy
Date: 11/17/2008 05:28 pm
About 50 students protested military recruitment at the Law School of the University of Pennsylvania, upset that military recruiters espousing the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy must be allowed to recruit on their campus. The root of the controversy is the Solomon Amendment, a law upheld by the Supreme Court requiring that all schools within a University provide equal job-recruitment access to the military or risk losing funding. U Penn’s law school explicitly protects “sexual minorities,” while the military forbids openly gay individuals to enlist.
