Nearly the entire faculty of Stanford Law School has signed an e-mail to students encouraging those interested in a career in the military to meet recruiters off campus, a move that one Stanford alum argues puts the school at risk of violating the Solomon Amendment.
Paul Mirengoff, a 1974 Stanford law graduate and now partner at a Washington law firm, has made three entries on his blog, Power Line News, that stop short of saying Stanford is in violation — which the law school says emphatically it is not — but criticize the school for discouraging military recruiters.
"The Solomon Amendment is an intersection of politics, policy and the war on terrorism," said Mirengoff. "The whole issue of elite universities discouraging military recruitment on campus is a disadvantage to our country. The 'don't ask, don't tell policy' is controversial but it is the law of the land."
