Left-wing, Hate-America Harvard HATES the US military. Like all good lefties do. But it LOVES muslim terrorists and illegal aliens.

In the 1960's and '70's the University Senate voted to deny credit and facilities to military activities, which amounted to a de facto ban. The Senate never ordered ROTC or military recruiters to leave, but made it impossible for their activities to continue. columbiaspectator.com

Because they had ROTC at one time does not mean they are/were a Land Grant school. In fact, they can't be as Harvard was established before there were federal lands to give away, along with the fact that they are a private institution. However, they do receive many millions of dollars in federal research grants and student loans. On the West Coast, Stanford is another example of a private school where they are considering the restoration of ROTC. As I said, I think this more a reflection of changing sentiments than the elimination of any specific objections to presence of a military culture on campuses. Society at large is much more accepting and appreciative off military service. In fact, I suspect the new and growing anti establishment culture on campuses these days is more accepting of Sen. Ron Paul than it would be of former Sen. Eugene McCarthy, Democrat/Anti war candidate for president, '68.
