The final resolution passed with 51 senators voting in favor, 17 opposed, and 1 abstention, a 74% margin.

Shortly after the meeting concluded the University released a statement praising the senate's proceedings:

“We appreciate the diligent work by the University Senate in fostering a robust debate on the issue of military engagement and ROTC," the statement read. "As in any diverse, open community there will always be a range of strongly held opinions on such important issues. But as President Bollinger stated after last December’s Congressional vote, the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell offers an historic opportunity for universities to reconsider their own policies as well. As planned, we look forward to sharing the Senate resolution with the Council of Deans and seeking an official conclusion on this matter by the end of the semester.”
