West Point shuts down clubs for women and students of color in response to Trump’s DEI policies

The United States Military Academy at West Point has been ordered to disband clubs aimed at diversifying military service, following directives from President Donald Trump.
The affected groups include the National Society of Black Engineers Club and the Society of Women Engineers Club, among others.
The memo states that all activities related to these clubs, including trips and meetings, are canceled and must be removed from the academy's website.
Trump's executive orders have targeted diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, which he describes as 'radical and wasteful' initiatives.
