West Point Disbands Student Clubs Amid Executive Order Targeting DEI Programs
West Point has disbanded cultural and professional clubs focused on diversity in response to Trump’s executive order against DEI initiatives.
Overview
The U.S. Military Academy at West Point has ordered the dissolution of twelve cultural and professional clubs, including the Society of Women Engineers and the National Society of Black Engineers. This move follows President Trump's executive orders aimed at eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the military. A memo from the academy specified these clubs must cease all activities and remove public-facing content. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that DEI programs conflict with the values of the Department of Defense, prompting a broader review of sanctioned organizations at West Point.
