Broken Code: AFA superintendent calls for investigation of athletic transgressions
The Colorado Springs Gazette reports:
Sexual assault and substance abuse have been problems at the Air Force Academy for decades. And in the past two years, the academy has recorded more reports of sexual assault than the nation’s other two service academies combined.
In the 2012-2013 academic year, cadets reported 45 sexual assaults, representing nearly two-thirds of the 70 reported assaults at all three major military academies.
Commanders have repeatedly said that the reason there are so many sexual assaults reported at Air Force is that their aggressive steps have made cadets more comfortable in discussing one of the nation’s most under-reported crimes.
