I love the way Larry Summers is bringing reality to Harvard. Boston Globe. NEW ENGLAND IN BRIEF Harvard to allow military recruiters 11/26/2003 CAMBRIDGE Harvard to allow military recruiters Harvard University will not challenge a federal rule pressing schools to allow military recruiters on campuses that oppose the military's policy toward gays and lesbians. Harvard's president, Lawrence H. Summers, wrote in a letter last week to a Harvard Law School group that the school would not sign on to litigation challenging the policy, known as the Solomon Amendment. The school released the letter yesterday. The 1996 law allows the Pentagon to pull federal funding from law schools that limit recruiters' access to students. Harvard had forbidden recruiters on campus because of the military's policy forbidding overt gays and lesbians from serving in the armed forces. Faced with the loss of millions in federal aid, Harvard and other schools backed off their bans. boston.com
