Military Discrimination Notice
Military employment practices discriminate against applicants on the basis of sexual orientation. The Military’s hiring practices violate the University of Maryland School of Law’s nondiscrimination employment policy and Section 6-3(b) of the AALS Bylaws. Military recruiters are allowed to recruit on campus because federal law, the Solomon Amendment, requires schools to provide recruitment services to military recruiters. Failure to comply with the Solomon Amendment exposes the University of Maryland, Baltimore campus to the potential loss of federal funds. Therefore, while the Solomon Amendment compels the University of Maryland School of Law to permit military recruitment on campus, the School of Law does not support or promote discrimination on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, gender, disability, religion, or sexual orientation.
