WASHINGTON, DC—Echoing criticism by Senators Obama and McCain, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni sent letters to the trustees of seven major universities urging them to open up their campuses to ROTC. The Yale Political Union urged ROTC’s return in a vote last night, and Columbia is debating the issue as well.
The letters, sent to the boards of Brown, Chicago, Columbia, Harvard, Stanford, Tufts, and Yale, remind trustees that while they have so far deferred to faculty and administrators on the question of ROTC programs on campus, it is ultimately their responsibility to settle this important issue. None of the seven universities currently allows ROTC on campus.
