At least one Ivy League University doesn't look like it will allow ROTC to return to campus after the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell." Brown University's president says that because the military still discriminates against transgender recruits, it shouldn't be welcomed back.
"We must do all in our power as an institution to carry the message to Congress, the executive branch, and the military establishment that the policy barring transgender individuals from military service must be changed," wrote Ruth J. Simmons in a letter responding to a faculty committee that had investigated the issue.
