Pentagon Drops Elite Schools, Partners with Auburn

0:00On March 2nd, here's the latest out of Birmingham. The Pentagon is overhauling its partnerships for military education programs. It is dropping several top schools like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, while naming Auburn University as a potential new partner, along with about 20 others. Earlier this week, on February 27th, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth shared the news in a social media video. He criticized the cut schools for spreading what he called, wokeness and anti-military views. This move impacts 93 active-duty service members enrolled in graduate programs at 22 affected institutions. Harvard has the largest group with 21 students. Those already studying there can finish without interruption. The new partners were picked for supporting intellectual freedom, avoiding ties to adversaries, and offering solid programs in national security and public policy. Findouts include The Citadel, Liberty University, University of Florida, and Clemson.
