Summary
If the schools don’t complete a review and terminate any arrangements deemed problematic within the next two weeks, they face losing funding. “The Department of War has zero tolerance for academic partnerships that compromise our national security,” Emil Michael, the Pentagon’s chief technology officer, said in a news release. The release didn’t name the schools, but a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters said they include Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Johns Hopkins University. The schools didn’t immediately respond to emails from The Associated Press seeking comment.
