ACTA's Must-Reads

Air Force ROTC scheduled to take off at Yale in 2012
The American Council of Trustees and Alumni has consistently advocated for the restoration of college ROTC programs (including work at Yale, Harvard and Columbia, for example) and applauds Yale University's decision to once again offer an Air Force ROTC program on campus.
An agreement was reached Monday between the US Air Force and Yale officials to begin classes for cadets in fall 2012. The decision comes after officials announced the return of Naval ROTC last May.
Students in New Haven have not had the option to join the AFROTC since the program was dismantled at Yale and a number of other universities during the Vietnam War era. ACTA has also encouraged and supported Harvard University and Columbia University in their efforts fully to restore ROTC to their campuses.
