Small schools need their ROTC program; do you agree? How do we balance cost effectiveness?

I graduated from a small university. Our ROTC commissioning class was 10. Worked out well for me.

My university started out as a small teachers college in PA, growing from Bloomsburg College to Bloomsburg University in the 80s. There were eight of us who were commissioned in 1988. I know that at least one other person in my commissioning class was promoted to COL and I retired as a LTC. So while I do not know how well ROTC tracks the accomplishments of their alumni they should before they make a decision to remove a program. It takes years to grow an officer and years to grow a ROTC program. To me the most challenging thing is marketing ROTC to young people. My husband and I could not convince our college sophomore to give the Army ROTC program that is in coordination with Georgetown University a chance. I don't know if he thinks he is too good for the Army but now he is academically struggling and they would not even want him. He threw away an opportunity of a lifetime.

I know Officers ASU has Comissioned! I graduated from ASU; I wouldn't call it a small school though.
