early action returns
Harvard’s Early Action program
returned to the College in 2011
after a four year absence. Admissions
admitted 772 students via Early
Action in 2011 for the Class of
2016, and 895 in 2012 for the
Class of 2017. One of the cited
concerns about Early Action,
along with how stressful and complex the process had become
for students, had been its lack of
diversity. Consequently, Harvard
stated that, due to their extended
outreach effort, their Early Action
class during the 2011 admissions
process was more diverse than
any Early Action cohort that had
come before.
ROTC returns
In 2011, President Obama repealed
the controversial military policy Don’t
Ask Don’t Tell, allowing service
members of all sexual orientations
to serve openly in the United States
military. In response, President Drew
Faust welcomed the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) back
to campus after a four-decade
long absence that began with
tensions built over the Vietnam War
and continued due to the military’s
discriminatory policies.
