The Washington Post reports:

Kagan asserted to Sessions that the military had access to Harvard Law students throughout her time as dean. While this is technically true, what Kagan failed to mention was that, during the spring of 2005, no one in law school's administration or student body officially sponsored the recruiting. That is because the veterans' group turned her down when she asked them, after the 3rd Circuit ruling, to resume their role as the official sponsor for recruiters.

During the winter-spring semester in 2005, military recruiters did continue to meet in Cambridge with Harvard Law students, and the number of students recruited that year happened to increase. But the recruiters had those meetings without any official sponsor within the law school.

The Post portrays Kagan's statement as “technically” accurate, but misleading because she “failed” to include the supposedly-but-not-really important detail that military recruiters lacked an “official sponsor.” But given the facts that, by the Post's own admission, military recruiters retained access to Harvard Law students during the time in question and that recruitment increased during that time, it is clear that Kagan's statement was not only “technically true,” it was … true.
