This distrust was the motivation for ROTC cadets and its supporters to form a club whose main objective is to dispel the ignorance and false innuendo that hurts our image and unfairly blames cadets for issues we have little to do with.

Regardless of the circumstances that led to the spat between the administration and the Afro-American Studies Department, Summers should have reacted more quickly and more forcefully in order to dispel questions about Harvard’s commitment to diversity after the media uproar began. The University is strongly committed to supporting diversity—as Summers has repeatedly maintained—and it is odd that some faculty members would need additional reassurance.
