To clarify, the Vance proposal was a 35% tax on "net investment income" of some universities, not on the value of the endowment: https://www.vance.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Vance-Endowment-Tax.pdf

We need to point out to President Garber to refer not just to "ROTC cadets", which leaves out the Navy midshipmen, but to either "ROTC cadets and midshipmen" or to "ROTC students".

This is just a terminology quibble - all indications are that Garber is very supportive of ROTC.
