Pentagon’s ‘Woke’ Crackdown on Elite Universities Sparks National Security Concerns
The Pentagon is dramatically rethinking its longstanding partnerships with elite universities, with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth accusing institutions like the Ivy League of being "too woke" and fostering "globalist and radical ideologies." This move, which could cut graduate programs for active-duty service members, has sparked widespread concern among military leaders and analysts who argue that isolating the officer corps from diverse intellectual thought risks creating strategic blind spots and undermining national security in an increasingly complex world.
