The Pentagon has announced that it is ending fellowship programs for active-duty military personnel at several elite universities, including MIT, Tufts University, and Brown University. The move was made in a memo by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who accused these institutions of using taxpayer dollars to foster anti-American resentment. The decision will be implemented by the 2026-27 academic year. Additionally, 93 fellowships are being discontinued across 22 institutions, including Yale University and Middlebury College. The Pentagon has identified potential partners for these programs.
