Raising the flag on ROTC

This week, we’re talking about the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps in light of the recent introduction of military activities to campus. Professor Allan Silver believes an ROTC program at Columbia would bring greater diversity to our nation’s military, and Allison Dilyard believes the program would attract currently underrepresented groups to our school. Natalie Lopez-Barnard talks about the merits of an ROTC program while Barry Weinberg discusses how much military involvement at Columbia is acceptable.
