Pentagon ends Harvard military education links over ‘wokeness’

The US Department of Defense has moved to sever all professional education partnerships with Harvard University, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accusing the institution of promoting political ideologies incompatible with military priorities.

Announcing the decision, Hegseth said the Pentagon is “formally ending ALL Professional Military Education, fellowships, and certificate programs with Harvard University,” describing the move as “long overdue.” He added bluntly: “Harvard is woke; The War Department is not.”

Hegseth argued the military had historically sent elite officers to Harvard to strengthen mutual understanding, but claimed the outcome had shifted. He said too many personnel returned with “heads full of globalist and radical ideologies that do not improve our fighting ranks.” He also alleged Harvard fostered an environment that “celebrated Hamas,” tolerated harassment of Jewish students, maintained discriminatory practices, and conducted research collaborations linked to the Chinese Communist Party. The Pentagon said the separation will begin with the 2026–27 academic year, although currently enrolled military personnel will be allowed to complete their programs.



The decision comes amid a broader and long-running clash between the Trump administration and Harvard leadership over admissions policies, campus governance, and responses to pro-Palestinian protests following the Hamas-Israel conflict and the war in Gaza. The administration previously attempted to freeze federal funding to the university, but a federal judge blocked the move in September 2025, ruling it exceeded executive authority and suggesting anti-Semitism claims had been used as a “smokescreen.” President Donald Trump has since escalated pressure, signalling plans to seek $1 billion in damages from the university over related allegations.

Harvard President Alan Garber has rejected the accusations, describing them as politically motivated and reaffirming the university’s independence. He said Harvard would not “surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights,” while stressing that combating anti-Semitism remains a “moral imperative” for the institution.

  1. Good on them.

    I encourage all taxpayers to watch Laws’ latest youtube musing.

    Laws illuminates the corruption in our public service which has culminated in the deaths of our Youth and an expectation from the people picking up the bill that any nz government response will be a dishonest failure.

    Isnt it great the dishonest dullard Nicola Willis is keeping the 62500 public servants firmly ensconced at our expense, up a whopping 17500 since the start of the Ardern goverment’s reign of terror.

    Well done Luxon, Peters, and Seymour, you muat be feeling proud you’re:

    – forcing financial pain and misery on embattled kiwi families with your unwavering support of the Aussie: grocery, banking, insurance, and energy cartels;

    – overseeing the horrid sitiuation where Kiwis can’t afford Children,

    – dishonestly covering up the $74.4b stolen off Kiwis via the covid fraud,

    – stewards of the policies forcing Kiwis bright youth to flee the country,

    – the leaders of a country whose inept elected officials (Mahe and his mates) are directly responsible for the deaths of sons and daughters.

    Yes Mr Luxon, you sure are f%^king the joint! Is that really what you entemred politics to achieve?

      After all, a kangaroo court will probably have a corrupt Masonic / J3wi$h Judge imprison Kelvyn Alp and Hannah Spier just to remove them from the political sphere and to interfere with the NZ Loyal Party’s leadership structure during an election year!

      If this country is to survive beyond 2026, then the minor political parties will either have to merge or form a strong coalition, and route-out the Uni-Party and it’s puppy dog lesser minions!

        I clicked your link and first impressions arent good.

        1. There is almost no information on the board members or the leadership team. No qualifications and scant information on experience and successes.

        2. It appears you want to nationalize everything. Haven’t you learnt from the disasters of your forefathers?

        3. There is no contact information.

        4. I did like “A dedicated anti-corruption team will be established to investigate past and present corruption, including offshore-directed parties. This will include insider trading, nepotism, and the revolving door between the government and private sector.”

        but how do we know you have a team capable of achieving this lofty, complex, necessary, but very very difficult policy?

        I hope you havent spent too much money on this half arsed folly.

        • Pay particular attention to the last 2 minutes of the below media-

          https://nzloyal.com/policy/
          Here’s the NZ Loyal Party’s membership page…
          https://nzloyal.com/join/
          About 34,000 Kiwis voted for NZ Loyal in the last election, despite Liz Gunn (Cooney) encountering delays, disinformation and subterfuge by various government elements, due to the party coming on board late in the election cycle.
          The NZ Loyal Party is ‘over the target’ on many issues, and plans to solve a lot of NZ’s problems.
          How do we know this?
          Because the reactions from the PTB de-banked the NZ Loyal Party, and are attempting to send the leader and his Counterspin Media partner to jail, thus removing them from the political landscape, despite the fact that the NZ Loyal Party leader had to go to Thailand to have the Chch Mosque footage analysed, and in the end revealed many inconsistencies that were reported to the NZ Police.
          Nothing was acknowledged. The MSM will not even acknowledge political party choices in the upcoming election, except for the same old globalist & Zionist-controlled Uni-Parties here in NZ.
          The Breakfast Show is vomit-worthy, as is TVNZ News and RNZ’ Checkpoint with Lisa O’s constant disruptive mannerisms and pushy methodologies.
          This is why Jabby outlawed the Mosque video footage, as such is fake to begin with, and the viewing public would have notices the inconsistencies ion this ‘playbook’…
          What is NOT fake is the fact we all know that Mossad-trained assassins carried out this horrible act, and later escaped back to Israel!
          Now we have Bondi…
          My party vote; New Zealand Loyal Party.

    • I left under Arden’s dictatorship. The psychopath and her Agenda was very dangerous. Luxflake et al are are disgrace to our legacy.

  2. The top 10 U.S. ‘Ivy League’ Universities are infested with J3wi$h / Israeli policies, and those so-called ‘upper class’ families that insure that their little Hymie or Sarah will attend via massive donations to these horrific, expensive and time-wasting places!

    The above video presentations are time-consuming to watch, but it is important to understand that this is a global effort on the part of governmental and university criminal psychopaths who are focused on killing-off a good majority of humanity.
    What happens in the U.S., Europe, Australia, etc. eventually shows-up here, so become educated and vote NZ’s minor political parties into Parliament, thus removing the Uni-Party.
    If you have always voted for either National / Labout / ACT / Maori, this time around you cannopt afford to entertain your comfort zone with Uni-Party linked and based Stockholm Syndrome- you will have to vote for the minor parties ie NZ Loyal Party, NZ Outdoors & Freedom Party, Free New Zealand, etc. if we are to remain alive and unhindered by lawless Zionist Global Policies that are currently in effect.

    • I moved to Australia post my service in the USMC in the early 1970’s.
      I enrolled in one of those ‘Ivy League’ Schools after discharge, and experienced the disgusting, arrogant entitled little Zionist shits who had no appreciation for the military let alone patriotism. The staff, students and professors were not exempt from these anti-Vetweran anti-U.S. behaviors.
      After living in Oz for close to 20 years, I moved to New Zealand in the late 1990’s.
      Now a NZ Citizen, w/ my proper Kiwi wife.
      Our adult children renounced their U.S. Citizenship by default when they turned 18 so they wouldn’t be double taxed, or be drafted to fight in an Israeli proxy-war!!!

  3. Department of Defense?
    I thought it was now the Department of War!
    Hint-
    If the Seal of the United States has the eagle looking right to the olive leaf, peace is underway.
    If the eagle looks to the left where the lightning bolts are, it means that war is imminent or underway!
    The faux ‘Star of David’ (the Star of Rephraim, actually…) is above it all, ie J3w$ rule Amerika!

  4. Not just harvard. All western institutions have been subverted with feminine ideology which is what woke is. Time for men to crack the whip & get rid of all of this leftist garbage permanently
