The US Pentagon has announced it will end all military training, fellowship and certificate programmes with Harvard University, escalating the Trump administration’s long-running confrontation with the Ivy League institution over higher-education reforms.
US defense secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that the decision would take effect from the 2026-27 academic year and would halt graduate-level professional military education offered at Harvard. Personnel currently enrolled will be allowed to complete their courses. Similar programmes at other Ivy League universities will be reviewed in the coming weeks, he added.
