...would be a mistake to blame the university’s position on official recognition for this disgraceful fact. Indeed, the responsibility for the cool reception of ROTC cadets on our campus extends far beyond even the symbolic reach of cross-registration fees and student-handbook disclaimers to the words and actions of every member of the Harvard community. As such, while we cannot sweep these cadets’ concerns to the side by claiming a principled stance, neither can we simply ignore the deep injustice of a policy that excludes and discharges individuals for speaking a truth about themselves...
