College Recruitment for the Military Protection Bill

[Hatman 🍁]

Right now, I think I support this act. Univeristies and colleges that are publically funded must also be subject to relevant government programs. I don't think it is fair that a public institution should bar public servants from doing their business on their grounds.

This is quite true.  However, this act makes no distinction between public and private universities.

It mentions "funded by the state". I take this as meaning it is referring to public institutions.

Why would we give military recruiters free reign to pick and choose which college or university they want to recruit at while not giving the college and universities free reign over whether or not they want to allow them?  The military is as much a public institution as public colleges and universities.

If universities are acting independent from eachother in making rules in regards to federal institutions, it undermines the purpose of federal funding altogether. The government has an equal jurisdiction over all public universities, and therefore when it comes to another federal department, it should not let one university be better or worse than another.

Another thing, this may encourage recruiters to targer poorer areas less as there will be more incentive to students of higer classes. I caution however this may just be a possibility and not a reality.

Actually public universities tend to service lower to lower middle class students.  Sometimes, it is the first time someone in the family has gone to college.  Recruiters there sends the message that the military is more important.  It isn't.

I agree that these recruiters doing a horrible job, but I also think that they have a job to do, and need access to universities in which to do it. Especially since they are a federal institution and so are the universities. I think they should be able to go to all universities, but then again I am against private universities anyways. Free, universal education I say!
