Egad! What will Harvard and Yale do? Oh that's right, they'll just recruit more Taliban.

Let the libs now fish or cut bait. How much are their principles worth? My bet is they go for the money, 100%.

About time American public colleges and Universities acted like Americans....

Even if the 'academia nuts' had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do the right thing by those are forced to foot their bills.....

"College leaders have said they could not afford to lose federal help, some $35 billion a year."

Sure they could. We could use it to pay down the national debt! Or start a new university: Patriot U! The mascot is a minuteman, colors are red white and blue, Judaeo-Christianity is a required class, and all recruiters are not only welcome, but have their own office.

"The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday that colleges that accept federal money must allow military recruiters on campus"

"This case does not require us to determine when a condition placed on university funding... becomes an unconstitutional condition. It is clear that a funding condition cannot be unconstitutional if it could be constitutionally imposed directly... the First Amendment would not prevent Congress from directly imposing the Solomon Amendment's access requirement, "

First Brokeback, now this. Not a good day for the gays. As for the college radicals, you take the King's shilling you become the King's man. Don't want Chimpy McHaliburton to have a say in how you run your shoddy utopias? Then get your grubby paws offa my wallets!

From the NYT:

When the case was argued before the Supreme Court on Dec. 6, Chief Justice Roberts zeroed in on the universities' apparent desire to have it both ways — to show disapproval of the military's treatment of gay people but still leave the federal money spigots open. "What you're saying is, this is a message we believe in strongly, but we don't believe in it to the detriment of $100 million," the chief justice told a university lawyer.

Canteen Ping...and a few other friends too...

Universities have no right to close their campuses to Military Recruiters! WOOOHOOOOO!!!! SCOTUS one right for a change!!!

[truth_seeker]

If the USSC votes 8 to 0, on the issue, the issue itself held little to no merit.

Since the issue was put forth by law school profs and department chairs, one could reasonably expect a convincing argument.

This tells me those profs and chairs are incompetent, if they can't even sway the likes of Ginsburg, Breyer, Souter.

Just a lay analysis of the overall implication.

Let me see if I've got this straight.... The law schools were saying that since they feel the military is limiting "freedom of expression," then they should be denied freedom of expression... Oh, and they still have to pay!

The simple fact is that if a school doesn't want to have a government body or agency come to their campus, they shouldn't have to. But they shouldn't expect that the government should still have to pay them.

I wonder if these same groups would try to keep Hamas or Islamic Jihad from being able to come on campus as well. I doubt it.... need to be sure that they get to express themselves. They just want to dominate and kill us.

[Hardastarboard]

they should not be forced to associate with military recruiter

Well lah-tee-effing-dah, you elitist pr!cks.

[MNJohnnie]

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

Amazing. They ALL got it.
