Military Recruiters' Access To Vocational-Technical Schools which runs the VT schools, interprets the state law and the connecticut SupremeCourt ruling as continuing to prohibit military recruiting at VT schools. http://www.cga.state.ct.us/2000/rpt/olr/htm/2000-r-0546.htm
Extractions: May 19, 2000 2000-R-0546 MILITARY RECRUITERS' ACCESS TO VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL SCHOOLS By: Judith Lohman, Chief Analyst You asked why the military is not permitted to recruit in state vocational-technical (V-T) high schools. The reason is that the U.S. military discriminates against applicants on the basis of sexual orientation, discrimination that is prohibited by Connecticut law. State law also expressly bars state facilities from being used "in furtherance" of such discrimination and bars state agencies from being party to any agreement, arrangement, or plan that has the effect of sanctioning such discrimination (CGS § 46a-81). The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled in 1996 that allowing the military to use UConn Law School's facilities for military recruitment violated the state law ( Gay and Lesbian Law Students Assn. v. Board of Trustees , 236 Conn. 453). In 1996, Congress passed the "Solomon Amendment," which required certain federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, to cut off funding to colleges that ban military recruiting or ROTC units from campus. Faced with a loss of federal funding to Connecticut higher education institutions, the General Assembly passed PA 97-2, October 29 Special Session. That act requires the state's public colleges and universities to provide military recruiters with as much directory and on-campus recruiting opportunity as federal law requires to prevent loss of federal funds, and allows private colleges to do the same.

Seems that they have been doing it right for so long it has become routine," Smrekar says. The yearlong study by the Peabody Center for Education Policy at Vanderbilt looked at 1998 test results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a congressionally mandated exam popularly called the Nation's Report Card, and the SAT college entrance exam. Key findings: In eighth-grade writing, 38% of DOD domestic students and 31% of those overseas scored at grade level or higher. This was second only to Connecticut and above the national average of 24%. NAEP ranks students at one of four levels: below basic, basic or partial mastery of materials, proficient or grade level and advanced. DOD had more students scoring in the advanced bracket than any other state or jurisdiction. The majority of U.S. students perform at basic levels or below. DOD schools have a much higher percentage of black and Hispanic students, and both groups posted higher scores in reading and writing than the national averages for their peers.

Extractions: February 28, 2000 2000-R-0239 RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR IN-STATE TUITION IN CONNECTICUT AND SELECTED STATES By: Judith Lohman, Chief Analyst You asked us to summarize the residency requirements in several states, including California, for students to pay in-state tuition rates at the states' public higher education institutions. The table below shows the basic residency requirements for paying in-state tuition in Connecticut and 21 other states, together with the major exceptions the states make to their basic residency requirements. For your further information, we enclose a list of in-state and out-of-state tuition rates at selected public colleges and universities in all 50 states published online by Savetuition.com All 22 states impose a basic requirement that someone have lived in the state for at least 12 months before receiving in-state tuition. Most of the states, including Connecticut, make certain exceptions to the 12-month residency requirement in certain situations. The most common exception is for members of the military on active duty and stationed in the state, who commonly receive the benefit of in-state tuition rates without having lived in the state for a full 12 months. The states generally require that to establish residency, a person (or his parents in the case of a dependent) must be "domiciled" in the state. Domicile is a legal term that means: "the place at which the person is physically present and that the person regards as home; a person's true, fixed, principal, and permanent home, to which that person intends to return and remain even though currently residing elsewhere" (
Extractions: October 24, 1995 New Haven, CONN. In a major test of the military's discriminatory recruitment program at colleges and schools, the Connecticut Supreme Court heard oral argument on Tuesday, Oct. 24 in a lawsuit brought against a state-funded university for allowing military officials to discriminate against lesbian and gay students on campus. The lawsuit, brought by the Connecticut Civil Liberties Union and the American Civil Liberties Union in 1992 on behalf of the Gay and Lesbian Law Students Association at the University of Connecticut, charges that the school violated the state's civil rights law for allowing organizations that discriminate to recruit students on state-owned property. "This is an important test of the state's gay civil rights law, at the state's own law school," said Philip Tegeler, acting legal director at the Connecticut CLU, who will be arguing the case before a five-judge panel of the state's highest court. "We're asking the law school to enforce its non-discrimination policies equally for all campus recruiters."

Extractions: Defense Department-run schools on U.S. military bases are educating children far better than civilian public schools. Moreover, the students at military schools are poorer on average and tend to come from minority families more often than their public school counterparts. Yet at least half of military students qualify for free or reduced-price lunches because their parents are on the low end of the military pay scale. And 40 percent of the system's students are black or Hispanic 10 percentage points above the public school average. But 35 percent of the poorer students demonstrated writing proficiency last year compared to only 10 percent of such students nationally.

Extractions: Wednesday, March 20, 1996 HARTFORD, Conn. Connecticut's highest court upheld Tuesday a ban on military recruitment at the University of Connecticut School of Law, ruling that the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on lesbians and gay men violates the state's human rights law barring discrimination based on sexual orientation. In a 3-to-2 ruling, state Supreme Court Justice Joette Katz wrote "because the law school may not permit civilian employers to recruit on campus if they discriminate, it may not permit the military, which does so discriminate, to recruit on campus." The decision upheld a lower court ruling. "This is a victory for the lesbian and gay students who were being unfairly disadvantaged by the military's discrimination," said Philip D. Tegeler, acting legal director at the Connecticut Civil Liberties Union, which brought the case with the national American Civil Liberties Union. "The ruling reinforces the role of universities to ensure equal educational opportunities for all their students." The lawsuit was filed in 1992 on behalf of the Gay and Lesbian Law Students Association at the university, charging that the school had violated the state's civil rights law by allowing an organization that discriminates to recruit on state property.

Extractions: This initiative was first developed in Southeastern Connecticut by our local Military Community Council. Its purpose was to create and enhance a sense of cooperation between the Armed Services and the communities which serve as home to bases and military installations. Recognizing that the involvement of our Armed Services in any community goes far beyond the front entrance gate, the Superintendents' Liaison Committee of Southeastern Connecticut sponsored a regional conference in Waterford, Connecticut on October 25, 1996, for school districts which serve military families. To the best of our knowledge, no network has existed which specifically addressed issues relating to the education of children from military families. We realize that we could better serve the military and educational communities by developing working relationships with colleagues in other states. Thus, this became the primary goal of our conference. Our next national conference is set for June 23-25, 1999 at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.
