NY Times: Air Force Academy to Examine Conduct of Cadet Athletes
The New York Times reports:
The superintendent of the Air Force Academy has begun an investigation into allegations of sexual assault and other misconduct among its cadet athletes, academy officials said Sunday.
The superintendent, Lt. Gen. Michelle D. Johnson, said she has called on the academy’s inspector general to examine the athletic department after reports of sexual assault, drug use, cheating and other violations of the academy’s honor code.
“This past behavior was troubling and suggested certain subcultures that were inconsistent with the culture of commitment and climate of respect we work hard to uphold,” she said in a statement.
