West Point Disbands Clubs for Women and Minorities After Trump DEI Orders

West Point Disbands Clubs for Women and Minorities After Trump DEI Orders
SHARE

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point recently made the decision to shut down 12 officially sanctioned clubs for women and ethnic or racial groups. This move was in response to directives from the Trump administration regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion. The academy’s deputy commandant, Chad R. Foster, stated in a memo dated Tuesday that the clubs were being disbanded to comply with recent executive orders and guidance from the Department of Defense and Department of the Army.

Among the clubs that were ordered to shut down immediately were the Corbin Forum, the Latin Cultural Club, the National Society of Black Engineers Club, the Vietnamese-American Cadet Association, Spectrum, and the Society of Women Engineers Club. These clubs, along with others on campus, were instructed to remove all public-facing content and cease all activities.

One of the impacted clubs, the National Society of Black Engineers Club, had an error message on its homepage stating “Oops!” on Wednesday. Drew Fitzsimmons, a West Point alumnus who founded the organization Spectrum in 2012, expressed frustration and disappointment with the decision. He emphasized the importance of affinity groups like Spectrum in providing a safe space for individuals with similar backgrounds to come together, build camaraderie, and prepare for leadership roles.

The directive from the academy also canceled all trips, meetings, events, and activities associated with the disbanded clubs. The U.S. Military Academy Communications Office confirmed the closings, stating that they were reviewing programs and activities affiliated with the former office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, which had sponsored the clubs.

President Trump’s executive order to end diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives within the federal government and those supported by federal funds set the stage for these actions. The order aimed to create a society that is colorblind and merit-based, leading to the suspension of officials associated with D.E.I. programs in various federal agencies. Additionally, the order called for guidance on compliance with the Supreme Court’s decision on race-based admissions in colleges and universities, which has sparked separate lawsuits challenging affirmative action at military academies like West Point.

As the U.S. Military Academy navigates these changes, it remains to be seen how the disbanding of these clubs will impact the campus community and efforts towards diversity and inclusion.
