Cornell Files Brief Against the Solomon Amendment

The Cornell Daily Sun (9/26/2005) reports that
Cornell University has filed an amicus curiae brief
in support of law school professors and administrators
who are challenging the constitutionality of the
Solomon Amendment in an upcoming Supreme Court case.

The articles states that Cornell "joins Yale, Columbia,
Harvard, New York University, University of Pennsylvania,
and University of Chicago in signing the 30-page document,
which calls the amendment 'an unconstitutional condition on
federal funding.' "

The amicus brief aids The Forum for Academic and Institutional
Rights (FAIR), the coalition of law schools that will be contesting
the amendment in the upcoming Supreme Court case on Dec. 6.
