Hegseth bars military academies from hiring tenured civilian professors
Original: Hegseth bars military academies from hiring civilians as tenured professors
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the country's military service academies to stop hiring civilians for tenured professor positions, according to The Washington Post. The move affects institutions such as West Point, the Naval Academy and the Air Force Academy, and is expected to reshape their faculties, which have long blended civilian academics with military instructors.
Why now: The directive raises concerns about academic independence at the military academies and reflects the Pentagon's broader push over civilian influence in defense institutions.
