Pentagon chief blocks officers from attending Ivy League schools and other top universities
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced the elimination of certain Senior Service College fellowship programs at numerous elite universities, including Harvard, MIT, Yale, Columbia, Brown, Princeton, Carnegie Mellon, and Johns Hopkins, effective for the 2026-2027 academic year. Hegseth stated the Pentagon will no longer fund institutions that fail to develop warfighting capabilities or "undermine the very values" officers are sworn to defend, calling Ivy League schools "factories of anti-American resentment." In place of these schools, Hegseth proposed a list of new partner institutions including Liberty University, Pepperdine, and several state universities. The move raises practical concerns, as some banned schools have active military partnerships, including Carnegie Mellon's hosting of the Army's AI Integration Center and Johns Hopkins' partnership with the Space Force for officer education.
