European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 19, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse Monday september 19, 1994 . The stars and stripes Page 9 by the congressional quarterly Washington a colleges and universities that bar military recruiters from Campus because of the armed forces policy on homosexuals Are in danger of losing millions of dollars in research Grants. Under the fiscal 1995 defense authorization Bill which was sent to president Clinton on tuesday no funds would go to any institution of higher education that prevents the armed services from recruiting students on Campus. Controversy surrounding the presence of the armed services on College campuses dates to the late 1960s, when student protests Over the Vietnam War led Many universities to eliminate Reserve officers training corps programs and ban military recruiters. But in recent years the grounds for exclusion have changed. A number of universities have prohibited on Campus activity by employers including the military that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. It was in response to such a move by one of the nations largest systems of higher education the state University of new York that rep. Gerald Solomon r-n.y., proposed the restriction on research Grants when the defense Bill reached the House floor last Spring. Helped by congressional hearings that indicated military recruiters were having trouble meeting their quotas Solomon a amendment was easily approved 271126, on May 23. A similar amendment by rep.

Solomon a office identified 13 of these schools As receiving defense department funds in fiscal 1992, ranging from $78,000 for Wesleyan University in Middletown Conn., to $18.8 million for the University of Minnesota. Although Congress attached a similar restriction to the 1973 defense authorization Bill it included a clause allowing the Secretary of defense to waive the prohibition if the research being conducted was a Likely to make a significant contribution to the defense the restrictions in the fiscal 1995 defense Bill do not contain such a waiver. Lobbyists for the academic Community have noted that in the rare instances when the prohibition was in forced the Pentagon and a University usually worked out some sort of arrangement whereby the University kept its research Money and recruiters were Given Access to students off Campus. Such practices Are threat Nedby the strict nature of the new rules. A what had been the prevailing atmosphere of the past 20 years in which the department and the institutions sought to accommodate each other could be replaced with some strict letter enforcement that would not be in the Best interest of the country a said Sheldon Steinbach general counsel for the american Council on education.
