Contrasts Courses

The committees contrast the difference
between ROTC courses and other professional
courses, stating that in other professional
courses, faculty members are allowed to
establish the course content. In the ROTC
courses, the report claims, the Department of
Defense manuals "prescribe course content
and...the manner in which the material is to be
presented."

The report also states that ROTC has no
parallel to other professional courses. In other
professional schools, the report states, the
students are not taught by representatives of
the students' future employer.
