The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to consider whether law schools thatrefuse to allow military recruiters on campus because of the military’sstance on gays could suffer the loss of federal funds.
By granting certiorari in Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic and InstitutionalRights (FAIR), the justices will revisit a 2004 decision by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that allowed the schools to restrict, withouttaking a financial hit, the presence of military recruiters on campusbecause the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy violated the schools’policies against discrimination based on sexual orientation.
