Hegseth bans civilian tenured professors at US military academies

Original: Hegseth bars military academies from hiring civilians as tenured professors

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has barred the US military academies from hiring civilians as tenured professors, according to the Washington Post. The directive affects institutions such as West Point, Annapolis and the Air Force Academy, which have traditionally relied on civilian academics for tenured faculty positions. The policy has drawn attention amid ongoing debate over political influence on the armed forces and changes to military education under the current administration.

Why now: A new directive from the Defence Secretary changes longstanding staffing policy at the prestigious US military academies, drawing scrutiny of its implications for military education and academic independence.
