Pentagon Ends Harvard Military Programs

The Trump administration, through the United States===United States Department of Defense led by Pete Hegseth, has announced the termination of all military training, fellowships, and certificate programs with Harvard University, effective from the 2026-2027 academic year. This decision is part of a prolonged standoff between the administration and Harvard University, with accusations from the Pentagon that Harvard University promotes 'globalist and radical ideologies' and has 'fundamentally failed to protect American students and faculty from antisemitic violence and harassment.' The administration has also attempted to freeze billions of dollars in federal research funding for Harvard University and demanded $1 billion in compensation. Harvard University has sued the administration over these actions, with federal judges siding with the university in initial rulings. The Pentagon plans to evaluate similar programs at other Ivy League universities, while other institutions like Columbia University and Brown University have already reached settlements with the Trump administration.
