...most astounding side of the CHUL's decision was the incredible arrogance it implicitly represented. In little over a week, almost half of all Harvard-Radcliffe undergraduates had signed a petition stating that they wanted a referendum on ROTC. The CHUL decided--on the basis of its one student "representative" from every House and one freshman observer--that it would be dangerous to raise the issue of ROTC among undergraduates presumably too unsophisticated to debate those issues in a proper perspective as long as ROTC did not represent any immediate threat.

Dean Rosovsky told the CHUL that not a single member of the Faculty has broached the subject with him and that he has detected no support for ROTC's return. He added that neither he nor President Bok would even attempt to have the matter discussed by the Faculty...
