President Donald Trump says he is dismissing members of the Board of Visitors for each of the U.S. military service academies on Monday.
Trump made the announcement on social media, saying the dismissals would impact the Boards of Visitors for the U.S. Army Academy, or West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy and the Coast Guard Academy. Each academy’s Board of Visitors is tasked with influencing and maintaining the curriculum and culture at the schools.
The boards consist of appointees from various sources, with six members being chosen by the president, four from the speaker of the House, three from the vice president, and one each from the House and Senate Armed Services committees.
The White House did not immediately clarify whether Trump’s Monday order dismisses all members of the boards or only those who are presidential appointees.
