Brown University President Ruth Simmons is catching flak (see the comments) (also here) for her stance against allowing ROTC on Brown's campus because of the military's ban on transgender recruits.

The military prohibits the service by transpeople via medical and conduct regulations, not by any act of Congress.  That will probably prove much harder to change than the mere overturning of DADT.
