The four military academies affected by Trump’s directive each have a Board of Visitors made up of six appointees from the president, four designated by the Speaker of the House, three from the vice president, a designee (or the chair) from the House Armed Services Committee and a designee (or the chair) from the Senate Armed Services Committee.

President Trump claimed the boards of visitors at four U.S. service academies had been “infiltrated by woke leftist ideologies.”

President Donald Trump is dismissing the boards charged with advising the U.S. military academies, including the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
