Army Secretary Dan Driscoll on Wednesday ordered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to rescind its job offer to former Biden Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Jen Easterly and review its hiring practices.
Easterly, who is a West Point graduate and Rhodes Scholar, was expected to serve as the next Robert F. McDermott Distinguished Chair in the school’s Department of Social Sciences.
Driscoll did not state his reason for pulling the job offer, but also directed the school to immediately pause its selection of staff at the school by groups outside the federal government.
“I have immediately directed West Point to: 1. Rescind Jen Easterly’s offer to serve as the McDermott Chair 2. Pause outside groups from selecting Academy employees or instructors,” the secretary posted to X. “I have also asked the Chair of the West Point Board of Visitors to conduct a full review of the Academy’s hiring practices.”
