Inside Higher EdUnited StatesHigh confidence1 min
What changed
The Defense Secretary announced partnerships with five universities: Hillsdale, Liberty, Louisiana State University, Mississippi State, and Tuskegee, to develop cadet corps. This announcement was accompanied by criticism of Ivy League and liberal arts institutions, which were characterized as "anti-American, DEI-worshipping woke factories."
Why it matters
This development signifies a shift in rhetoric and potentially in strategic alliances between the Department of Defense and higher education institutions. It highlights a divergence in perspectives on national values and institutional roles, which could influence future resource allocation and policy direction in defense-related academic programs.
What to watch
The Defense Secretary has initiated partnerships with five specific universities for the development of cadet corps.
Forward consideration, not a verified fact.
