Even if we exempt ROTC from this particular policy, saying it applies only to "social organizations," shouldn't Harvard be encouraging the "time-to-time" campus activity of other political or governmental groups?

Property taxes are high -- almost $1 per $100 of assessed valuation. But because the district encompasses part of a tax-exempt Air Force base and lacks tony subdivisions, the tax rate translates into $3,596 per student. In the Santa Gertrude school district, located on the oil-rich King Ranch in south Texas, property taxes are low -- only 8 cents per $100 of assessed valuation -- but the total spent per student...
