Growing Hostilities Towards Recruiters on Campuses
The Harvard Crimson and the Yale Daily News both have articles regarding campus reporters (I meant recruiters; Freudian slip?). At Harvard, students question recruiter's presence on campus, and over at fair Yale, half of its law school's professors are filing a lawsuit against the Department of Defense about its recruiting policies and universities.
Yale Daily News: "The suit will center on the 1995 Solomon Amendment, which requires all colleges and universities receiving federal funding to allow military recruiters on campus. Until recently, many American law schools, including Yale, had banned recruiters because the military's 'don't ask, don't tell' policy on homosexuality violates the schools' nondescrimination clauses..."
The same feelings are undoubtedly running through the UMass Boston campus as well, thanks in part to a yelling match last April between an Africana Studies professor and a recruiter, which resulted in the professor getting taken down and arrested by campus police. Many are complaining that the recruiter was able to walk away from the incident as police focused on the professor.
The incident generated articles in the Boston Globe and Phoenix.
