Phillips would not reveal the results of the investigation but said the report would be discussed at next month's Council meeting. The faculty committee's review was done in accord with last May's Council resolution which said that the Army and Navy ROTC programs would be kicked off campus by June 1993 unless they abide by "the spirit and the letter of the University's non-discrimination policy with respect to sexual and affectional preference." The resolution also calls for the University to work with other colleges to "pressure the Department of Defense to abolish its policy of discrimination against gay men and lesbian women." Council members voted for the resolution in response to allegations from a former University student enrolled in the Naval ROTC program who said that he was harassed at the campus' unit when he revealed that he is gay. -- Roxanne Patel
