At Harvard, where Kagan became an editor of Harvard Law Review, and also later served as Dean of Harvard Law School, she supported a censorship and banning of participation by the United States Armed Forces in recruitment that is made available to hundreds of other employers. She signed onto a law brief in 2004 urging the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] to overturn the [[Solomon Amendment]], a law that denies federal funding to any university that “has a policy or practice … that either prohibits, or in effect prevents” military personnel “from gaining access to campuses, or access to students … on campuses [including Harvard Law Schoo], for purposes of military recruiting  that they not discriminate against recruitment by the U.S. Armed Forces.''<ref>Rumsfeld v. FAIR'', Docket No. 04-1152, 2004 U.S. Briefs 1152</ref>.  The U.S. Supreme Court rejected her argument by a vote of 8-0.  But Harvard University continues to ban [[ROTC]] to this day.<ref>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/service-academy-parents/724749-interesting-article-about-rotc.html</ref>

Kagan opposed military recruiters from being at Harvard because of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy which attempted to prevent homosexual relations in the military. She characterized it as “a profound wrong—a moral injustice of the first order … a wrong that tears at the fabric of our own community, because some of our members cannot, while others can, devote their professional careers to their country.”<ref>[http://97.74.65.51/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=34854  FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, May 18, 2009]</ref>
