Columbia: Spectator "Panel Speakers Link ROTC to War With Iraq"

1 April 2003 Columbia Spectator article "Panel Speakers Link ROTC to War With Iraq". Comment: One student argued for not having ROTC cadets on campus because, she said, members of the armed forces are trained to "evaporate dissent". Another "condemned the entire U.S. military as racist, lamenting what she called disproportionate numbers of low-income people of color serving in the military's rank-and-file". The ROTC program that serves Columbia graduated an ROTC cadet named Colin Powell, who faced no glass ceiling in his advancement in the military and beyond.
