The Pentagon announced it will end all academic ties with Harvard University, including military education, fellowships, and certificate programs. This decision, set to take effect in the 2026-2027 school year, is part of a broader conflict between the Trump administration and Harvard over the university's perceived ideological stance. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth criticized Harvard for allegedly promoting radical ideas among military officers, and indicated that the Pentagon will also review its relationships with other Ivy League institutions. The move comes amid broader tensions between the administration and elite universities, with ongoing disputes over campus protests, funding, and academic freedom.
