(c) There are insufficient grounds for concluding that all ROTC courses are objectionable. Some may be, some may not. A case-by-case review seems appropriate, and that is best done by appropriate academic apartments.

(d) Harvard, along with other universities and now facing the ROTC issue, ought to take advantage of the opportunity to explore ways whereby the ROTC program can be improved (either as an extra-curricular activity or as one clearly under the supervision of civilians in the regular academic departments).

For the Committee on Educational Policy, Professor James Q. Wilson will move

1. That students who wish to do so should have an opportunity to prepare themselves for military service while pursuing academic work toward their liberal arts or professional degrees at Harvard University.

2. That present arrangements with ROTC units offering courses for academic credit at Harvard raise questions of academic policy sufficiently serious so that

a. The Corporation be requested immediately to open negotiations with regard to the present ROTC contracts to reflect the sense of this Faculty as outlined in item 3, and that

b. The Dean of the Faculty be requested to appoint a special committee to assist and advise officers of the University involved in these negotiations, this special committee to report to the Faculty before the end of the academic year 1968-69.

3. It is the sense of the Faculty that revisions in the ROTC contracts should be made in keeping with the following principles

a. No course in military, air, or naval science shall be accepted by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences for degree credit unless it is sponsored by an academic department, committee or division responsible for concentration, or General Education courses.

b. All courses accepted for degree credit by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences shall be directed by persons whose appointment has been recommended by an academic department, division or degree-recommending committee and approved by the Governing Boards.
