NEW YORK, NY – The senate of students and faculty at Columbia University has voted to end their ban on allowing ROTC on the university’s campus. The ban was put into position during the Vietnam War as part of a peace movement and has been in place for over four decades.
The lifting of the ban, which passed the senate 51 to 17, was in response to the military’s decision to drop their discriminatory “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.
