...sign a letter of nondiscrimination before they can access the Law School’s Office of Career Services. Military recruiters have been unable to sign such a statement because of the armed services’ “don’t ask, don’t tell?? policy on homosexuals, leading the Law School to deny them the use of the school’s facilities...
