Pauline Shanks Kaurin resigned from her position at the Naval War College, where she held the prestigious Stockdale Chair in Professional Military Ethics. Her departure stems from recent policies issued by President Donald Trump, which she believes compromise her academic freedom and moral stance. Kaurin argues that these orders, which prohibit the teaching of various theories deemed 'un-American,' have made it impossible for her to conduct ethical discussions and research related to military ethics, hence her decision to leave the Navy's academic environment after seven years.
Pauline Shanks Kaurin's resignation from the Naval War College reflects her belief that staying would mean approving policies contrary to her ethics.
