Statement Regarding ROTC and the Campus

25 September 2008 Columbia University Office of the President "Statement Regarding ROTC and the Campus" by President Lee C. Bollinger.  Note: President Bollinger points out that students already have some ROTC opportunities available at other area colleges, and that current military policy is to aggregate ROTC programs so as to achieve proper scale.  He concludes "it is not at all clear whether a change of policy would have any impact on the current practice of having our students travel to one of the other campus ROTC sites, as do virtually all other students at New York area colleges and many others across the nation."
