The case is Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights, 04-1152.
The Supreme took the ability to reject military recruiters away from colleges that accept federal money.
WASHINGTON--The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday that colleges that accept federal money must allow military recruiters on campus, despite university objections to the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays.
Justices rejected a free-speech challenge from law schools and their professors who claimed they should not be forced to associate with military recruiters or promote their campus appearances.
Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the court, said that the campus visits are an effective military recruiting tool.
"A military recruiter's mere presence on campus does not violate a law school's right to associate, regardless of how repugnant the law school considers the recruiter's message," he wrote.
This is, most definitely, a gift for a defense department struggling to meet recruitment goals.
The Supreme Court majorly fails to keep students rights and keep the government out of people's college experience.
