General Discussion

For over a decade, ROTC was off Harvard's campus. Allegedly because it was interfering with grades, but mostly because it was military and lots of students opposed any military presence on campus. This was the time when 'protestors' would not only protest but harass and sometimes disrupt (by taking materials, graffiti, or overturning tables) on some campuses. Harvard "graciously" allowed students to take some ROTC courses at MIT.

That was mitigated when Obama's DOD complied with Harvard's demands--not that they were necessarily complying with Harvard, per se, but the Obama admin wants were coincident with what the Harvard students wanted, mostly--and things fell back mostly into place, with some rough bumps.

I assume that with the changes made to DOD and presumably to ROTC, the Harvard demand list has grown and maybe even the occasional minor protest, but that's speculation.

It's not like hate's been entirely one way, and it's not the first time Harvard and ROTC have failed to have amicable relations.

In other words, this is either a rerun or reboot.
