The Pentagon breaks all ties with Harvard in vocational training, claiming that the university promotes "awakening", tolerates persecution from Jews and cooperates with investigation related to China, announced US Secretary of defence Pete Hegseth.
In a Friday statement, Hegseth reported that the department “FORMERLY completeS ALL professional military education, scholarships and certification programs offered by Harvard University”, calling that decision "former late".
“Harvard is awakened; Department of War is not” – he added.
Hegseth said that in the past the Pentagon sent “our best and brightest officers” at Harvard, hoping the university would realize better "our warrior class".
However, "too many of our officers have returned, looking besides akin to Harvard—with heads full of globalistic and extremist ideologies that do not rise our conflict ranks" – he claimed.
Hegseth besides accused Harvard of creating a climate that ‘celebrates Hamas’, “allows attacks on Jews” and inactive "promots discrimination on race grounds".
He claimed that "campus investigation programmes have established cooperation with the Communist organization of China", adding that akin relations with another universities will be analysed.
The Pentagon has reported that the starting date for recruitment is 2026-27; presently enrolled staff can complete their courses.
The U.S. president Donald Trump's administration has long argued with Harvard due to the fact that the university opposed her demands for improvement of the recruitment and management system, as well as improved discipline on campus after pro-Palestinian protests caused by the Hamas war with Israel and unprecedented devastation in the Gaza Strip.
The administration tried to frost Harvard's national funding, but in September 2025 the national justice overturned the decision, arguing that the university had exceeded its powers and allegations of anti-Semitism served as "Smoky Curtain".
Trump has since intensified the pressure, announcing at the beginning of this period that he will be demanding from Harvard $1 billion in damages due to allegations of anti-Semitism.
Harvard president Alan Garber dismissed the charges as an effort at political intimidation, stating that "university will not renounce its independency or constitutional rights".
He added that Harvard had always sought to fight anti-Semitism, calling it "moral imperative".
