The U.S. Military Academy at West Point has disbanded its Society of Black Engineers and 11 other clubs in compliance with federal directives aimed at reducing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. An internal memorandum outlined the immediate cessation of all activities related to these clubs, which existed to foster community and support among cadets of various identities. This move follows similar actions by the Army and Air Force, as they dismantle DEI programs. The affected clubs included affinity groups promoting cultural awareness, women's leadership, and transitions from civilian to military life, reflecting a significant cultural shift within military installations.
The Academy removed its Society of Black Engineers and other clubs, a decision influenced by federal orders to dismantle diversity and inclusion programs.
The order from the Academy to cease club activities aligns with recent military directives to eliminate DEI initiatives, echoing a broader governmental censorship.
