U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s move to end certain military fellowships at 21 disfavored universities, including Carnegie Mellon, will achieve the opposite of its purported intention.
He cites the need to train members of the Armed Forces to “think critically, free of bias or influence.” He asserts that the 21 elite institutions — which include Harvard, Columbia and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — teach a “biased” perspective on the United States and its international affairs. The secretary says removing these schools and using others will improve the “readiness” of America’s military for battle, but it will not.
