The AALS requires its members to adopt non-discrimination policies, but the military forbids homosexuals from serving. To avoid violating the non-discrimination clause, many schools limited the presence of military recruiters on their campuses.
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.
Even though HLS has not had to alter its policies, Donahue said she is "hopeful that the Solomon Amendment will be altered," a sentiment echoed by Monk, who said the Solomon Amendment "serves no legitimate purpose at all."
