Hegseth Severs Pentagon’s Academic Ties With Harvard University

The Defense Department said it is severing academic ties to Harvard University and ending professional military education fellowships, the latest blow to the university from the federal government.

Secretary Pete Hegseth, a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School, said in a post Friday night that attendance at the school no longer “meets the needs” of the Department or the military services and the Pentagon will discontinue graduate-level professional military education, fellowships and certificate programs at the Harvard Kennedy School starting in the next academic year.
