The U.S. Military Academy West Point ordered all minority cadet clubs to be disbanded immediately as crackdowns on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs set in across the country, according to a report.

All West Point clubs sanctioned by the academy's Directorate of Cadet Activities that highlight different cultures or marginalized groups were ordered to be "disbanded," while other clubs were ordered to "cease all activities" until their status could be reviewed, according to a memo shared to social media.
