Eventually, some of us began to questionwhether student deferments were morallydefensible, whether it was fair for Harvardstudents to be exempt from a war that was beingfought primarily by disadvantaged 18-year-oldsfrom small towns and the inner cities. The facultyof Arts and Sciences avoided a vote on that veryissue, but The Crimson eventually called publiclyfor the abolition of student deferments...
During the height of the siege, demonstrators gathered in the Corporation Room, the inner sanctum of Brown's governing body. There they demanded an immediate $50 million increase in Brown's capital campaign, with the money designated to return student admissions to a need-blind status...

Army and Marine Corps regulars pulled out, on the proviso that the Marines would maintain a "rapid reaction" force capable of returning to the streets on three hours' notice. Some National Guard units also started to withdraw, leaving 6,000 Guardsmen still on patrol...
