Trustees vote to continue ROTC

By Alexander R. Edlich | April 18, 1994

The Board of Trustees voted over the weekend to keep the Army's Reserve Officer Training Corps, but admitted the program discriminates against homosexuals. The Trustees' statement, released Saturday, said the Board wished to preserve the opportunity for students to participate in ROTC but also pledged to work to change the military's policy toward homosexuals. By keeping the program, the Board overrode recommendations by the faculty and College President James Freedman to eliminate ROTC because of its discriminatory policies. But the Board's statement supported their claim that the military's current policy concerning homosexuals is still discriminatory. "The so-called 'don't ask, don't tell, don't pursue' policy enacted by Congress in 1993 places Dartmouth and other institutions of higher education in an unacceptable situation," the Trustees wrote in their two-page statement.
