Students Show Displeasure with the Military

Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) at Wayne State University met to discuss a new campaign for their school to divest from defense corporations. Wayne State’s SDS is coordinating their divestment efforts with students at the University of Michigan and Michigan State University who are pushing for the same at their schools. In a largely symbolic move, the Student Government of American University has voted against the University policy of allowing military recruiters on campus saying that it runs counter to the school’s nondiscrimination policy. The move is in criticism of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” which prohibits openly gay individuals from enlisting. Universities’ hands are largely tied on the issue, due to federal legislation.
