Pentagon ends partnerships with Harvard over military training

The Pentagon announced it is severing ties with Harvard University, discontinuing all military training and fellowship programs, citing a failure to meet the needs of the military and alleging a pervasive institutional bias at Ivy League schools. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth criticized Harvard for producing officers with “globalist and radical ideologies” and for not addressing antisemitism on campus. This decision reflects ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and Harvard, which has faced significant federal funding cuts. Harvard has countered these actions with lawsuits against the administration, asserting they are retaliatory for not aligning with government ideologies.
