Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Friday that the Department of Defense will cancel all military attendance at a group of elite universities beginning with the 2026\u201327 academic year, as part of a broader reshaping of military education policy, Defense Department officials said.<\/p>\n

In a video posted on social media, Hegseth said the policy would apply to institutions that have traditionally hosted U.S. military officers for graduate and professional education, including Princeton University, Columbia University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Brown University and Yale University.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, just like we did with Harvard, I am ordering the complete and immediate cancellation of all Department of War attendance at institutions like Princeton, Columbia, MIT, Brown, Yale and many others, starting next academic year, 2026-2027,\u201d Hegseth said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot and will not continue to send our most capable officers, senior officers, into graduate programs that undermine the very values they have sworn to uphold,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
