 ProfessorBainbridge.com: FAIR to Hillsdale?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Hillsdale College had never discriminated on any basis, and had never accepted federal taxpayer funding of any sort, so the college felt no obligation to comply, fearing that doing so would open the door to additional federal mandates and control.
The case went to court, and Hillsdale College won a partial victory, but the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals did rule that Hillsdale College was an “indirect recipient” of federal funding because of participation in federal grant and loan programs.
Of course, Hillsdale's situation raises more fundamental questions in a recruiting case, since raising an army is something that doesn't fit well under the commerce clause, and the constitutional scheme taken as a whole certainly suggests that some limitations of the Bill of Rights extend to wartime (why else have the Third Amendment?).

Hillsdale has always understood that a demanding culture of academic achievement is the first requirement for a quality institution of higher learning.
It is for this reason that the college must act openly and frankly as it cleanses itself not only of the onerous images of George Roche as incestuous adulterer, but also of George Roche as an abuser of trust, a user who saw the deep pockets of conservatives and looted them for his personal aggrandizement.
