FWIW, the Columbia Spectator's digital morgue of articles on ROTC dating back to 2007 is available here.

FWIW, part two, a passage in the article linked in the OP states:
Quote:
A group of 34 faculty colleagues, including historian Kenneth Jackson and former Bloomberg adviser Esther Fuchs, plan to announce their support of ROTC tomorrow.
That statement of support is available here.

Professor Jackson is a former president of both the Organization of American Historians and the Society of American Historians--the two major professional organizations for American historians--as well as a winner of the prestigious Bancroft Prize for Crabgrass Frontier in 1986 <<LINK>>.

The fact that Professor Jackson supports ROTC at Columbia suggests that attitudes towards the American armed services in the Ivory Tower are changing, notwithstanding the inexcusable asshattery of a handful of undergraduates.
