The Faculty Senate on Thursday approved a proposal to establish a "restructured" Reserve Officers' Training Corps program at Stanford after a 40-year hiatus.

In a 28-9 vote, the senate accepted the six-point proposal recommended by the Ad Hoc Committee on ROTC in its report, Towards an on-campus ROTC program at Stanford University, and approved three amendments. Three faculty members abstained from the vote.

In a joint statement released after the meeting, President John Hennessy and Provost John Etchemendy said they would begin conversations with the U.S. military about the process for reestablishing ROTC at Stanford.

As the members of the senate filed into the meeting in the Law School, they passed a group of about 50 students demonstrating against the proposal. Their signs and chants focused primarily on military discrimination against transgender people, who are excluded from service. "Trans rights are human rights," one sign said.

The issue of military discrimination against transgender people was also an issue of concern inside the building.

Psychology Professor Ewart Thomas, chair of the Ad Hoc Committee on ROTC, said the "most wrenching" arguments he heard against reinstating ROTC came from some of the many supporters of Stanford's transgender students.

He said the committee failed to see any good reason for excluding transgender people from service, merely because they are transgender, adding that transgender troops are allowed in Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, Israel, the Czech Republic, Thailand and Australia.

However, Thomas said the committee rejected the other argument made by supporters of transgender students – that establishing a program on campus would violate Stanford's nondiscrimination policy.

"Stanford will continue to admit students, whether they belong to ROTC or not," he said. "They will do so through an impartial admission process and then protect them from discrimination in university-administered policies and programs. In particular, any ROTC courses offered at Stanford should be open to all students whether the student is in ROTC or not. It is primarily this expectation of inclusion that leads us to reject as unfounded the concern about the university's violating its own nondiscrimination policy."

Invited during the discussion to address the issue, Stanford General Counsel Debra Zumwalt confirmed the committee's assessment that an on-campus ROTC would not violate the university's nondiscrimination policy."

So somehow this issue got mixed in with the Gays in the Military issue.

They want people to have the right to sodomize ... but Stanford fully supports the War of Terror.

"As a U.S. university, Stanford has from its beginning considered it an obligation to help train our nation's leaders. Stanford prides itself on educating young people who seek out ways to serve and who have the ability to change the world for the better. Our country needs innovative, broadly educated military leaders, and we believe that Stanford – as one of the nation's leading universities – has a responsibility to help prepare them.

"We are honored and proud to have many excellent current students and alumni who have served in the military. We have deep faith in the character of our students and the quality of the education we provide, and we are convinced that our graduates will be influential members of our nation's leadership. We also believe that ROTC's presence on our campus will be mutually beneficial. It will provide all students with opportunities for discussion about civic responsibility, human rights and the role of the military.

There's even more nauseating bullsh.t @ the URL.

This is why I completely disagree with the references to those who fought in World War 2 as the "Greatest Generation", and am ashamed of that generation & of the Baby Boomers, my generation.

Under those 2 generations, the US came completely off the tracks and went from the Zionists having a tenuous grip on power to completely in control of the US government.


BUT - I'm still not sure about the Leland Stanford Senior.  He was a big-time tycoon, back in the late 1800's.  I would think he would be listed, like the Rockefellers, as a compadre of the Rothschild's.  But I find very few historical references to Stanford.

But now, in the present time, Stanford's identity is clear.  They completely support the military industrial complex, they talk about truth and tell none of it, and one of the most influential people on campus - C. Rice - maintains that the US had no idea airplanes could be flown into buildings ... even though she's a total history whiz, AND the guys who tried to blow the WTC up in 1993 carried plans with them about flying airplanes into buildings.

Condoleeza lied, millions died.
