Summary
Hillsdale College has been selected by the Department of War to participate in the Senior Service College Fellowship Program, which educates senior military officers. The college’s president, Larry Arnn, expressed support for the program and the department’s goal of equipping the military with “the lethality necessary to protect our national interest.” The selection comes after the department announced it would end partnerships with several elite universities, including Harvard and Princeton, due to concerns about “woke” ideology. Hillsdale College emphasizes the U.S. Constitution and the “political philosophy of the West” in its curriculum.

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The Department of War has found a new partner in Hillsdale College, which aligns with the administration’s push to cut ties with Ivy League schools. The college’s president, Larry Arnn, has expressed support for the program and the department’s goals. The selection of Hillsdale College marks a shift away from traditional academic partners and towards institutions that more closely align with the administration’s views on education and national identity. The department’s memo cited criteria such as “intellectual freedom” and limited ties to foreign adversaries in selecting the new institutions. Hillsdale College has also worked with the White House on initiatives tied to America’s 250th anniversary.
It’s just another example of how the administration is redefining what it means to be a “qualified” institution.
