The U.S. Military Academy at West Point has abruptly shut down 12 clubs aimed at supporting women and various ethnic or racial groups, citing adherence to Trump administration policies on diversity and inclusion. The decision, announced in a memo from deputy commandant Chad R. Foster, affects groups such as the Corbin Forum—a support network for female leaders—and several cultural organizations. All related activities have been canceled, and the academy is reviewing further programs tied to the previous office dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This move reflects wider governmental changes initiated by recent executive orders from the Trump administration.
