Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth criticized Harvard for fostering ideologies he deemed incompatible with military values, stating that officers returned from Harvard with 'globalist and radical ideologies.' The decision will take effect starting with the 2026-27 academic year, allowing current personnel to finish their courses.
Similar programs at other prestigious universities are also under review. The move comes amid ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and Harvard, including disputes over campus protests, diversity initiatives, and federal funding. Harvard has challenged the administration's actions in court, winning two cases, but the administration continues to appeal and demand financial concessions from the university.
