Many universities have official anti-discrimination in recruiting policies. It is far from unusual. Stanford treats the military exactly the same way it would treat any company that is looking to recruit on Stanford’s campus that discriminates.

If they would put their foot down with just one major university, and cut off every bit of Fed funding (including Pell Grants, etc), this situation would come to a screeching halt, post quick!

I personally do not think these profs should be fired. But don’t go to Standford (and of course, don’t go to Duke). People who went there chose to ignore the race baiting and the paranoia that is used in populist propoganda.

I’ve met so many Duke grads who are little Al Sharptons. PRoud of their Duke predigree, but hateful and paranoid of white people. It’s like they want to divide people. It’s just so wierd. Stnadford is probably not as bad, but for either school, if interviewing someone from there, askt hem what they think about this stuff. It’s worth looking into.

And if you have people of the same quality who went to other schools, you are wise to chose them instead. Private schools have every right to have stupid ideas, and we should simply evaluate their educational merit on that basis.

I also think the 88 professors who signed the diatribe against the Duke Lacrosse team ought to be fired. They also went too far with some professors flunking students solely for being on the team.

There needs to be a remedy used for these “demi-gods” with tenure. It is called the unemployment line.

BUT, from a legal perspective, I’m not seeing where they are actually breaking the Solomon Amendment. The FAIR lawsuit claimed that Solomon violated their Free Speech rights. The government’s response was basically that the faculty remained free to voice their displeasure at the government’s policy all they wanted to. And that’s all they are doing, here.

The proper response is for the alumni and supporters of Stanford to stop contributing, as several of the commenters here have done (and good going, guys!).

Thank you for reminding me of my pledge.

I first read about the collective decision of faculty to undermine the Solomon amendment about 2 weeks ago.

I find the actions of the faculty and Dean offensive in this matter. Stanford Law is such a small population where it seems everyone knows everyone else’s business. I know when I attended the school if I had received a letter signed by all of my professors, I would have felt threatened (in my grade and in evaluations of my class performance) if I did not do what it said. What kind of immoral suasion is this veiled threat from the majority of the faculty?

I will not be contributing until this stops.

Thank you for your anticipated prompt cooperation in ensuring that it does.
