- West Point disbands student-led clubs following DEI order — The US military academy at West Point has dissolved 12 student-led cultural and professional clubs in response to executive orders from the Trump administration targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across federal institutions. A memorandum signed by DC Chad Foster instructed the immediate shutdown of clubs such as the Society of Women Engineers, the Latin Cultural Club, and Spectrum, an LGBTQ+ support group. The directive requires these organizations to remove all public-facing content and cease all activities. This move has sparked criticism from alumni and advocates for diversity in military education.
