Trying to understand Yale

Two events this week gave me moments of amusement. First, we learn that Yale has admitted a former official from Afghanistan who was in the Taliban. Next we learn that the Law School at Yale has had a major defeat inflicted on them by the Supreme Court in an 8-0 decision. The supremes said they could no longer refuse access by the military seeking face time with potential recruits at their fine institution. These brilliant legal minds actually thought they could claim the right to exclude recruiters on the basis of some free speech excercise. The objection by the law school to the recruiters was supposedly based on the don't ask, don't tell policy of President Clinton which they feel us unfair to homosexuals. I wonder if anyone at Yale stopped to ask those who are light in the loafers if they would prefer to be found out by their military superiors or some Taliban official. In the latter case, I understand treatment was somewhat more harsh than simple dismissal.
