The United States Military Academy at West Point has recently dismantled 12 student organizations, including various affinity groups and engineering societies, in response to President Trump's executive orders aimed at ending diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives within federal agencies. An internal memorandum has instructed a complete shutdown of these groups, barring them from meetings or public activities, while other cadet clubs face operational pauses pending compliance reviews. This move diverges from the messages of inclusion previously emphasized by leaders like Kamala Harris during notable addresses, igniting concerns about the impact on cadet support networks.
West Point's action to dismantle multiple organizations, like Spectrum and the National Society of Black Engineers, follows Trump-era mandates ending diversity initiatives.
An internal memo reveals that all cadet clubs' activities will be halted as the Army reviews their alignment with federal diversity mandates.
