...fact, Harvard is intimately linked with U.S. imperialism and the oppression of people at home and abroad. Harvard is a corporation; it has business interests, for instance, in the power companies of the American South (companies which follow racist hiring policies) it is a landlord in Cambridge and its effect on the community had been to drive up rents and dispossess working people (at an enormous profit). Harvard allows military recruiters free run of the campus, and specifically, the three ROTC programs, dating back to 1916, are among the oldest in the country. Harvard also gets government research contracts...
...final analysis, after all the rhetoric is cleared away, either ROTC remains and fulfills its purpose, or it is thrown off campus. To have it stay is in effect to support the U.S. military's policies of suppressing just popular revolutions abroad and the quelling of Black rebellions at home. The courses at Harvard and the "liberal" administrative atmosphere obscure this fact.

...told the faculty that the Pentagon was willing to be "flexible" about course credit; that they realized the potential of student unrest and were willing to make concessions to forestall it. In the context of this "flexibility," the SFAC-HUC-HPC resolutions, regardless of intent, would have the objective effect of keeping ROTC here: "In my considered judgment, the withdrawal of academic credit for Army ROTC courses at Harvard would not, of itself, cause the Department of the Army to withdraw the ROTC unit from Harvard" (memorandum...
...majority of Army and Air Force ROTC students, membership in the units is the source of their draft deferments (being graduate students, they are not automatically deferred as are College students); it would seem harsh for the College to urge, if effect, that these draft deferments be abolished...
