U of Wis. Ignores Plea, Keeps ROTC
- Share via
MADISON, Wis. — University of Wisconsin regents today rejected a faculty-backed proposal to kick the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps from campus to protest the military’s ban on homosexuals.
The board voted 13 to 3 instead to accept the recommendation of UW System President Kenneth Shaw that the university strengthen its effort to lobby Congress to change the military’s policy.
In December, the Faculty Senate at UW-Madison, the system’s largest campus, approved a resolution asking the university to expel ROTC from campus in 1993 if the military continues to prohibit gays and lesbians.
