Cornell Law School Faculty Issues Statement on Solomon

The Cornell Daily Sun, 4/22/2005, reports
that law faculty have adopted a formal statement
on the Solomon Amendment, calling the legislation
'unconstitutional.'

According to the article, the faculty's resolution states:
"By effectively preventing the Law School from
implementing its non-discrimination policy against the
military, the Solomon Amendment endorses and
perpetuates a form of discrimination that is not only
deeply invidious but unconstitutional as well."
