So, perhaps the Faculty Members should resign enmasse in protest. The Faculty Members object not to the mere presence of military recruiters, but to being forced to assist the military in telling some Yale Law students that they are not fit to serve in our country's armed forces because of their sexual orientation.* The Faculty Members deeply respect those who serve in our nation's armed forces. They find both demeaning and stigmatizing Petitioners' insistence upon excluding Yale's gay, lesbian, and bisexual students from those forces. The [Defense Department's] demand that Faculty Members not just tolerate, but actively aid and abet, their discriminatory recruitment practices undermines the Faculty Members' commitment to maintain a tolerant and inclusive educational environment for all Yale law students. For the Faculty now to surrender to the Government's coercion--even to protect the University's finances--would inevitably erode all students' faith in the Faculty Members' commitment to treat them with equal respect and dignity.
