...drive to change ROTC's status in the University began in the fall of '68 when countless committees began to debate the merits of academically- accredited Reserve Officer Training Corps units. In early October the Harvard Undergraduate Council (HUC) proposed a plan for curtailing ROTC's privileges, including the removal of academic credit from all ROTC courses. But the resolution had no formal influence, so the faculty-less HUC began to work toward placing the issue on the Faculty docket. Edward T.

...Although HUC members wanted to secure a spot for their resolution on the docket primarily as an effort to establish a precedent of regular Faculty consideration of similar student-initiated resolutions, they also wanted to form a united front of student government groups against a credited ROTC program.
