U.W. Law School students oppose congressional amendment

Our State Bar's Legal News & Trends feature in the Wisconsin Lawyer reports
Last December, the U.W. Law School student body passed a resolution opposing the congressional Solomon Amendment, which requires schools to provide the military with full access to students for recruitment purposes or risk the termination of certain federal funds.

The Wisconsin Lawyer report goes on,
The resolution, passed by three-quarters of the law school's student body...

Presumably meaning the one-third of the student body that voted. The Student Bar Association reported
Law students supported the resolution by a 3 - 1 margin with nearly 300 students casting votes.

Total UW Law School enrollment is usually around 900 [31 pp. pdf].
