Harvard Welcoming ROTC Back to Campus

Mar 4, 2011


John Lauerman, Washington Post - 03/04/2011 - Harvard University announced Thursday that it will bring the military's Reserve Officers Training Corps program back to campus after more than 40 years.

Harvard President Drew Faust and U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus will sign an agreement giving "full and formal recognition" to a Navy ROTC program later this year, the Cambridge, Mass., university said in a statement.

Harvard's move comes nearly three months after Congress voted to end the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that prohibited openly gay people from serving in the military.
