The Pentagon has named Auburn University as a potential new partner institution for military education programs, part of a broader shake-up ordered by Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth that cuts ties with several elite universities he has labeled ideologically hostile to the military. In a memo signed February 27, @PeteHegseth directed the end of Pentagon-funded graduate attendance and fellowships at Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Yale, Brown, MIT and other institutions, calling them “woke breeding grounds” that promote “anti-American resentment and military disdain.” The memo, titled “Aligning Senior Service College Opportunities with American Values,” calls for new partnerships with institutions that promote “American exceptionalism.” Currently, 93 military students are enrolled across 22 affected institutions. @AuburnU is among 21 universities identified as “value-aligned” potential replacements. No specific program or contract has been announced for Auburn yet, but the designation signals that graduate fellowships and mid-career officer education slots previously hosted at elite private universities could be redirected to Auburn’s programs.
