This may be a shock so you may need to sit down.<BR/><BR/>The Army needs lawyers!<BR/><BR/>And doctors…and veterinarians…and graduates in technical fields, MBAs, etc. The Department of Defense and its branches (Department of the Army, Navy, etc) is a massive bureaucracy and needs trained personnel to function.<BR/><BR/>We need to recruit for those skilled personnel. So we give them additional salary, allowances and other benefits. Just imagine how much money a new MD will save knowing he doesn’t have to pay tens of thousands yearly in malpractice insurance. A 26 year old in debt for 150K may want to look into a program that will pay him while he is getting experience and reducing his college debt. <BR/><BR/>Also if we are supporting this university with our tax dollars we shouldn’t expect a red carpet. But we damned sure shouldn’t be given worse access than Exxon or Microsoft.<BR/><BR/>Darren is being generous. If Yale has a sliver of integrity they would “no, we don’t need the money”. But professors are often the biggest bunch of hypocrites on earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-38241628675867131252007-09-19T20:33:00.000-07:002007-09-19T20:33:00.000-07:00I didn't misread.

Recruiters tell people about opportunities they might not even know exist.<BR/><BR/>If military recruiters weren't getting recruits from colleges, they wouldn't waste their time going there. And Yale Law School--how many civilian law school students know what the DoD can do for them, especially as regards student loan payoffs?Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-67402983966378860992007-09-19T20:19:00.000-07:002007-09-19T20:19:00.000-07:00I think you misread what I typed...
