Secretary Hegseth Cancels Brown Military Fellowships Due to Lack of “Warrior Ethos”

A memo issued by Secretary Pete Hegseth has cancelled a military fellowship program at Brown University and 21 other institutions of higher education and think tanks.

“SUBJECT: Aligning Senior Service College Opportunities with American Values

Our Professional Military Education (PME) institutions are among our most sacred and essential means to restore and maintain the warrior ethos within the DoW. It is imperative that our warfighter education system forges strategic senior leaders who are trained to think critically, free of bias and influence. PME is a bedrock upon which we build lethal warfighters grounded in the founding principles that underpin American exceptionalism,” states the directive.

“To that end our PME institutions must return to the fundamental mission of focusing our military leaders on core national security strategy issues. We must develop strategic thinkers through education grounded in the founding principles and documents of the republic, embracing peace through strength and American ideals, and focused on our national strategies and grounded in realism. We will no longer invest in institutions that fail to sharpen our leaders' warfighting capabilities or that undermine the very values they are sworn to defend,” it continued.

The monies are being redirected to institutions like the Citadel, George Mason, and the University of Florida.
