Removing ROTC simply a "quick fix"

(04/19/93 4:00am)

I would like to comment on the Arts and Sciences Council meeting about military policy regarding homosexuals. Some statements need clarification so that an honest discussion can occur. For instance, any reference to "ROTC policy" is misdirected. All policies concerning who may serve in the military (and receive a scholarship) are generated at the federal level by Congress, the President, and the Department of Defense, NOT the local ROTC. The quote that "ROTC should be able to cease discrimination within five years. . ." thus asks the impossible. ROTC cannot affect policy; it must follow laws set by Congress and policies given by the Department of Defense. As for ROTC, all students are allowed to take any academic classes offered by the units.
