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.
