Mabus was there for the announcement today.

Does anyone know if this was just Navy? Or is it Army ROTC as well?
There is an important lesson here. I suspect (actually, I KNOW) that some applicants ranked Harvard lower on the school choice list because there was not an ROTC unit on campus (requiring a commute in order to participate). That no longer appears to be the case. Stuff happens.
Thanks for the link to the return of NROTC to Harvard, Basil.
I believe you are particularly qualified to discuss sea warfare as a result of your having been a pirate in Captain Blood. One wonders whether Caribbean cinematic naval history wold have been altered had you stabbed Errol Flynn instead of vice versa.
Harvard in particular has caught a lot of flack for their position from many alumni.
I have no doubt and I think the article does say that they are in negotiations with the other branches to re-start ROTC as well.
This is a very good thing as it brings some highly educated people into our military and hopefully some more true-citizen soldiers.
