And "don't ask, don't tell" has also brought the issue up again at other Ivy League universities.

At Dartmouth, for example, the board of trustees issued an ultimatum similar to Harvard's, Later, the board extended the deadline to this April in order to consider Clinton's new policy.

At a recent Dartmouth faculty meeting, professors passed a resolution urging the board of trustees to discontinue ROTC, according to The Dartmouth.

Several faculty argued that the new Defense policy is still inconsistent with Dartmouth's antidiscrimination policy. They said the college is compromising its ethics by being involved in ROTC.

But students disagree. Last term, the Dartmouth student assembly voted unanimously in favor of keeping the college's links to ROTC. One faculty member has cited this as evidence that students see Dartmouth's anti-discrimination policy as a guideline, not a principle.

The issue does not appear to be as prominent at other schools.

At Brown, the ROTC program is "not completely phased out," according to a university spokesperson.

Brown offers students the opportunity to participate in ROTC through a program run by Providence College.

An assistant to Allen Braun, who advises Yale students enrolled in ROTC, said that the program is "not in danger of being phased out."

And at least one school has no ties whatsoever to ROTC.

Columbia University has been without a ROTC program since 1969, according to Robert J. Nelson, a spokesperson for the Office of Public Information.
