The court decision ruled that the State University of New York would be in violation of the Governor's executive order if it continued to allow recruiters on campus. All the Governor has to do is to live up to what he said he was going to do in an article which appeared in the Albany Times-Union, which was written by Sam Verhovek of the New York Times. The Governor's spokeswoman, Ann Crowley, said the Governor was firmly opposed to banning military recruiters from campus. That was not his intention in the first place, and if he modifies his executive order, that court decision is null and void, and it will not cost them a nickel. All the Governor has to do is rescind or modify his order and there is no problem. The university is under a court order right now as a result of a court action, so they are prevented legally from allowing the recruiters on the campus.
