Some of the clubs no longer sanctioned by the university include the Asian-Pacific Forum, the Korean-American relations seminar, the Latin Cultural Club, the National Society of Black Engineers Club and the Society of Women Engineers Club. The U.S. Military Academy communications office said the clubs had been dissolved because they were affiliated with the DEI office.
