Advocating for ROTC at Harvard
A few weeks ago, ACTA President Anne D. Neal once again wrote to Harvard Corporation president Robert D. Reischauer.
"I know that you and other members of the Corporation take pride in Harvard's storied service to the nation," Neal, a Harvard alumna herself, began. She continued:
"No other school, outside the service academies, can boast of seventeen alumni who won the Medal of Honor and countless others who have risked their lives for America. With that in mind, we come to you now with a modest request. We ask simply that the Corporation commit Harvard to official recognition of ROTC. That can be done by the Corporation immediately--whether or not there is an official ROTC unit on campus."
Neal also encouraged the Corporation to increase participation in the Yellow Ribbon scholarship program for veterans. Read the full letter here.
UPDATE: Cheryl Miller asks, "Why is Harvard Not Restoring ROTC?"
