   Comments: It's better to keep our campus away from political issues; and the Army contributes to a lot of the political activity today. Let's keep our campus the way it is, without any discriminations.

    Comments: In addition to many other reasons that a Department of Military Science at UMBC is an affront to the supposed mission of the university and the "objective inquiry" that it claims to encourage and promote, UMBC is an institution that constantly celebrates its commitment to diversity. Installation of an entire department in which non-heterosexual/queer people are not accepted would make a complete mockery of this commitment.

    Comments: The militarization of educational institutions threatens our democracy at its most fundamental level. UMBC should not bow to the pressure of the defense establishment and should reject these inroads.

    Comments: UMBC is a campus that supports diversity and turning it into an ROTC campus automatically brings in an organization that discriminates against the LGBT community.

    Comments: I strongly oppose the presence of ROTC at our university and the creation of any Department of "Military Sciences." Apparently, the military has people to speak for them, but who will speak for the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis killed and injured in our war

    Comments: I think that the program needs more time to be researched. Although potentially beneficial more than two weeks of deliberation is needed to discuss the effects of allowing the program to come to our campus - especially with other pre-established disciplines needing aid.

    Comments: ROTC and JROTC are expanding their outreach for the purpose of recruiting for war. College trained ROTC second lieutenants do not civilianize the military, the training progam militarizes the university. The odds of going into combat are extremely high (85% for enlistees, higher for officers) and will be for a long time to come. A thorough study and evaluation of the history and practices of ROTC and the texts used and ideas imparted, as well as the points raised above concerning discrimination and mistreatment of military personnel, should lead any quality institution of higher learning to reject such a program. The scholarship funds and other benefits offered by ROTC are better sought in the civilian world without a possible lifelong risk and consequence attached. Peace eduction is far more important in college curriculums in these troubled times than military science when no military solutions are working.
