High Court to Review Law Penalizing Schools that Bar Military Recruiters


The Supreme Court said Monday it will consider whether colleges and universities may bar military recruiters from their campuses without fear of losing federal funds.

Justices will review a lower court ruling in favor of 25 law schools that restricted recruiters in protest of the Pentagon's policy of excluding openly gay people from military service.

That ruling, by the Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, invalidated a 1994 federal law requiring law schools to give the military full access or else lose their funding, saying it infringed on law schools' free speech rights.

The Supreme Court will hear the case during its next term, which begins in October.

1. They should mandate that the recruiters
visit the College Republicans first, during any visit.
