Private: Chat With Kent Greenfield On Campus Military Recruitment
The Third Circuit ruled last week that colleges' free-speech rights were violated by a law, known as the Solomon Amendment, that would deny them federal funds if they banned military recruiters from their campuses. The colleges have sought to bar the recruiters because they say the military's antigay policies violate campus antidiscrimination codes.
Professor Kent Greenfield is the founder of the Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights, a group of 25 law schools and law faculties which led the legal campaign that resulted in last week's ruling. He will respond to questions and comments about these issues in an online discussion on Thursday, December 9, at 2 p.m., U.S. Eastern time. Readers are welcome to post questions and comments at this link.
In addition to his work with FAIR, Professor Greenfield is also ACS' Boston College chapter's faculty advisor.
