Pentagon Bans Service Members From Elite Colleges and Think Tanks

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announces a sweeping policy to sever ties with nearly two dozen elite universities and seven prominent think tanks, banning military personnel from enrolling in those institutions starting in September and replacing programs with options at state universities and conservative schools; the move targets institutions the administration deems liberal-leaning and indoctrinating service members, and follows Harvard's earlier ban in this campaign, with 93 military students currently enrolled at affected programs.
