Apologies made for Marines’ treatment
Monday, Dec. 10, 2001 | 9:11 a.m.
On the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, several members of the Board of Regents faulted the Boyd Law School for its poor treatment of military recruiters during patriotic times.
The University of Nevada, Las Vegas, law school received sharp criticism Friday for treating two Marine Corps officers from the Judge Advocate General's office so rudely during a campus visit in October that they were unable to make their presentation.
"I am appalled at this type of behavior," Regent Tom Kirkpatrick said. "I just think we need to give credit to the men and women who support this country, both abroad and on the home front."
The recruiters found the sound of an anti-military video was turned up so high they were unable to hear student questions.
Both Richard Morgan, dean of the law school, and UNLV President Carol Harter apologized to board members for any embarrassment.
The law school wants to join the Association of American Law Schools because of the prestige that comes with membership. The organization, which has a position against the military's, "don't ask, don't tell policy" dealing with gays in the military, requires its members to take "ameliorative actions" whenever military recruiters visit.
The association does not, however, say what type of action to take. Measures can range from handing out pamphlets to holding an informational session for students.
