- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is overhauling military education programs, cutting ties with certain universities.
- Ivy League schools like Harvard, MIT, Yale, and others are removed from the approved list for military fellowships.
- Hegseth criticizes these institutions for being 'anti-American' and not aligning with military values.
- New partner schools include Liberty University, George Mason University, and others.
- Some banned schools, like Carnegie Mellon and Johns Hopkins, have key military partnerships in AI and space education.
- The change coincides with the Trump administration shifting AI partnerships from Anthropic to OpenAI and xAI.
