West Point Disbands Clubs Related to Gender and Race Amid DEI Policy Changes
In a controversial decision, West Point Military Academy has disbanded a dozen cadet organizations that were focused on gender, race, and ethnicity. This move follows the implementation of recent directives related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from the Trump administration. The action has prompted significant outcry, particularly from advocates for women and minority groups, who see this as a setback for representation and support within the Academy. The decision aligns with a broader trend across military academies, as the Army has ordered West Point to remove or pause various student clubs that promote diversity initiatives.
