Senator Schumer urges the Army to reverse its decision to shut down Clarkson University's ROTC program, impacting local cadets.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer has called on the Army to reverse its decision to shut down the ROTC program at Clarkson University, known as the "Golden Knight" Battalion, which is the only Army ROTC unit in the North Country. Schumer argues that this move would force approximately 45 cadets to choose between continuing their education at Clarkson or transferring to another institution with an ROTC program.
In a statement, Schumer emphasized the program's significance, noting it has produced over 1,600 commissioned officers and serves cadets from nearby colleges. He expressed concern that the inactivation of such a successful unit would negatively impact officer recruitment and training for the Army, particularly at a time when it seeks to increase enlistment.
In his letter to Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll, Schumer requested clarification on the data and criteria used to determine the program's closure and urged the Army to reconsider its decision for the benefit of cadets and the military's operational readiness.
