"Air University adjusted its academic schedule following the recent government shutdown, including the Air War College program, to prioritize core curriculum and program requirements. As a result, the scheduled guest lecture by Dr. Kori Schake was unable to be accommodated within the revised schedule."
"The Defense Department under Secretary Pete Hegseth has made clear that people and institutions may be excluded from involvement in professional military education for ideological reasons."
"The Pentagon has cut academic ties with numerous elite colleges that Hegseth called 'factories of anti-American resentment and military disdain,' and rescinded a former Biden-administration official's professorial appointment at West Point."
The Air War College invited a lecturer to present on U.S. civil-military relations but later canceled the engagement due to a revised academic schedule following a government shutdown. A spokesperson stated that the decision was a command decision prioritizing core curriculum. Concerns arose regarding potential ideological exclusions, as the Defense Department has previously cut ties with institutions deemed anti-American and sought to control educational content at military academies, including removing certain library books and canceling classes.
