Harvard shamefully reopens campus to ROTC while throwing transgender students under the bus

This has me absolutely fuming.  Once DADT has been repealed, Harvard University will reopen its campus to ROTC. 

    I look forward to pursuing discussions with military officials and others to achieve Harvard's full and formal recognition of ROTC. I am very pleased that more students will now have the opportunity to serve their country. I am grateful to the Massachusetts delegation for their unified support for repeal.

    -- Harvard President Drew Faust

ROTC was banished from Harvard in the first place because the military was in violation of the university's non-discrimination policy.  But guess what?  Even with repeal of DADT the US military still continues to discriminate against transgender people, a clear violation of Harvard's policy:
