Queers and Allies dropped its opposition to an Undergraduate Senate bill passed last semester concerning American University ROTC students, now that the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy has been repealed.
The Nov. 21, 2010 bill recommended the administration look into making changes to policies that currently deny AU ROTC cadets group access to AU fitness facilities for physical training and prohibit use of AUTO vans for ROTC transportation, among other things.
Last month congress voted to repeal DADT, a 17-year-old policy that banned openly gay and lesbian service members from serving in the military. President Barack Obama later signed the repeal bill into law. […]
The administration is already clearing the way for ROTC, and cadets will be allowed to use athletic facilities this semester, according to Phyllis Peres, the vice provost and interim dean for Academic Affairs, The Eagle previously reported.
Cadets will also be able to take military science classes at AU if space is available.
