Hegseth bars military academies from hiring civilians as tenured professors

Hegseth has announced that the Defense Department will no longer appoint civilians as tenured college faculty at the United States military service academies. This decision bars military academies from hiring civilians into tenured professor roles. The move represents the latest effort by the Trump administration to exert greater control over the faculty at these service academies, ensuring that civilian instructors do not receive permanent tenure while teaching at these specific federal institutions within the military system.
