Fighting to Serve: The Impact of the Transgender Military Ban
The transgender military ban has implications for WCL students. The United States government has banned transgender people from serving in the military. This policy conflicts with DC law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of gender identity. It violates AU’s stated values and internal policies prohibiting discrimination.
At the same time, the federal “Solomon Amendment” compels the university to allow the military to recruit on campus, notwithstanding its discriminatory employment practices. This event will explore how the ban affects service members and the military, and how these conflicting rules impact the WCL community.
Date: October 7th
