The Department of Defense wants to establish five consortiums led by community colleges that would prioritize STEM education and feed into the DOD workforce.

The DOD's new set of cyber standards could dissuade university researchers from participating in defense research, according to Educause.

The course will challenge graduate students to come up with solutions to common military and intelligence problems.

The new initiative, part of the NDAA, will require a status review by the Secretary of Defense after three months and again after one year.
