Time for trustee action at Columbia
Columbia completed this week a non-binding student referendum on whether the university should repeal the ROTC ban and create a Navy ROTC program, the first in Manhattan. Although those opposed to bringing ROTC back to campus won the poll, they only did so by a slim margin, as the "yes" side ended up with 46 percent of the final tally.
While ACTA applauds the students for engaging the issue and putting it on the table, ultimately, it is up to the Board of Trustees to address this question and to heed President-Elect Obama's call to give students the opportunity to explore a career in the military.
