Issues and Myths about ROTC

This page discusses issues that have been raised about ROTC since the repeal of DADT, and some myths that have entered into the discussion. These pages have only been updated since 2011 to correct situations that have changed in crucial ways.

Those unalterably opposed to ROTC have the easy task of finding as many problems with the military as possible.  Those unalterably disdainful of top colleges have the easy task of finding as many problems with the university as possible.  Our focus has been on the more difficult and constructive task of addressing the issues in a factual manner to promote ways in which the military and the university can engage, an approach also enunciated by Columbia University President Lee Bollinger.
