The Cadet project is an initiative by Virginia Military Institute cadets and alumni to re-launch The Cadet newspaper as the independent voice of the Virginia Military Institute corps of cadets and alumni. Established in 1907, The Cadet was one of the first independent college newspaper in the United States. 

Global Liberty Alliance and other counsel were engaged in 2022 to advise The Cadet, the Cadet Foundation, and staff to advise them on various matters including helping to ensure that the First Amendment rights of The Cadet team are upheld and respected by VMI. Established in 1872 and published continuously between 1907 and 2017, The Cadet was one of the first independent college newspapers in the United States. 

Efforts to bring quality and independent content in the Internet age is a worthwhile initiative of the Cadet Foundation and the staff of The Cadet. It is a meaningful project under the aegis of the First Amendment's free speech protection befitting America's premier state military college.
