PrezBo Speaks On ROTC

25 September 2008 BWOG blog item "PrezBo Speaks On ROTC".  Note:  The blog of The Blue and White, Columbia's undergraduate magazine, comments on Columbia President Lee Bollinger's email to the Columbia community about the ROTC issue.  The blog item observes "unfortunately for the NROTC planners, the email also shows that PrezBo has not been paying attention to their efforts. Contrary to Bollinger's claim, there is no Naval ROTC program for Columbia students."  However, this is not correct since President Bollinger did not claim that there is currently a Naval ROTC opportunity for Columbia students; he merely neglected to point out that existing ROTC opportunities are limited to Army and Air Force programs.  Furthermore, making the claim that Bollinger has ignored the Navy part of the issue would require knowledge of all his deliberations, an assertion that is not credible.
