News from the number-one ranked ROTC program in the country
Indiana University's student newspaper reports that the country's number-one ranked ROTC program is growing. Enrollment has increased from 85 cadets in 2005 to 130 today and IU's Army ROTC program has exceeded its assigned recruitment requirement for the past 5 years. Even the officer who runs the program is surprised: "It just amazes me that we're in a protracted war and we continue to find people willing to serve despite that," says Major Todd Tinius. A cadet interviewed in the article explains that he wants to pursue a career in the military; another speaks of his desire "to maximize my potential."
Trustees at universities which have no ROTC program because the administration claims there is no student demand should take note. As you may recall, ACTA recently sent a letter to seven major university boards calling on them to bring ROTC back to campus.
