The Pentagon sent a letter to HLS last fall claiming HLS policies should trigger a funding loss under the Solomon Amendment, but after explaining its policy to the Defense Department, HLS was let off the hook, Donahue said.
But the amendment did force the "great majority" of Association of American Law Schools (AALS) members, which include HLS, to change their policies, according Carl C. Monk, executive director of AALS.
The Solomon Amendment forced many schools to bend their rules with the threat of losing federal funds, including Pell Grants and Stafford Loans, according to Campbell's office.
