The US Department of Defense is severing its academic connections to Harvard University, with Secretary Pete Hegseth accusing the oldest US university of being a centre of "hate-America activism".
In a video posted on X, Hegseth announced the Pentagon would end graduate-level military training, fellowships and certificate programs with the Ivy League institution.
Harvard has become a "factory for woke ideology and a breeding ground for anti-American radicals" that does not align with the department's focus on "lethality" and "deterrence", he said.
For months, The Trump administration has threatened to cut funds and take other measures against Harvard, alleging it is "woke" and anti-Semitic.
Last week, President Donald Trump announced he will be seeking $1bn (£730m) in damages from Harvard, after the New York Times reported his administration had to backtrack from its demand for a $200m payment in negotiations with the university. Trump accuses the university of "feeding a lot of nonsense" to the news outlet.
