Dean Daniel Polsby Debates Professor
William Eskridge on Solomon Amendment
The American Constitution
Society's Blog (ACSBlog) hosted an online debate
on the Solomon Amendment between George Mason Law School
Dean Daniel Polsby and Yale Law Professor William Eskridge.
William Eskridge is a board member of FAIR (Forum for
Academic and Institutional Rights), and he presented
arguments against the constitutionality of the Solomon
Amendment. Dean Polsby has helped file an Amicus Brief
to support military recruitment, and he argued in
favor of the amendment.
On Tuesday, December 6, 2005, the United States Supreme
Court will hear oral arguments in FAIR v. Rumsfeld (Docket
No. 04-1152). The question presented in this case
is whether the court of appeals erred in holding
that the Solomon Amendment (which withholds federal
funds from institutions of higher education that deny military
recruiters access to campuses and students) likely violates
the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.
