Re: MILITARY OFF UCSC - MARCH & RALLY TUESDAY!

'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' in addition to the military's ban on women serving in combat positions is a violation of the following requirement on the Career Center's registration website for employers:

"*Required I hereby affirm that my organization is an equal opportunity employer, offering employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation, disability, or citizenship unless legally required, and provides equal employment opportunity to disabled veterans, and veterans of the Vietnam era."

Offering employment without regard to sexual orientation is not something the military can do. When queer students walk up to them, tell them they're queer and would like to join, they are either denied access, or lied to by recruiters who tell them to hide their identity so that they can meet their quota.

Considering that many universities and its programs have, in the past millenium, been a space that are only open to priveleged straight white men, the inclusion of a Women's Center, GLBTI Center, or other Centers (such as the AAPIRC, Chicano/Latino Resource Center, EOP, etc.) are an attempt at equalization.
