Air Force Academy superintendent orders investigation of athletic department after Gazette inquiry
By Tom Roeder Updated: August 2, 2014 at 8:41 am

The superintendent of the Air Force Academy has ordered an investigation into athletic programs in response to Gazette inquiries about player misconduct and issues involving the teams.

The Gazette investigation, which will appear in Sunday's edition, examines recruiting, academic programs and steps the institution is taking to ensure athletes live up to the academy's honor code. The Gazette's story will recount how a group of athletes was investigated by Air Force officials after allegations of sexual assault and drug use at December 2011 party.

The Gazette based its investigation on dozens of interviews and hundreds of pages of government documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

"I've asked the USAFA IG (inspector general) to start their review of the mission elements with the Athletic Department," Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson wrote in a statement to the newspaper this week. "These efforts will help in eliminating subcultures at the Air Force's Academy whose climates do not align with our institutional core values."

1. The AFA has been hot with religious discrimination,

Sexual misconduct, and general behavior unbecoming any officer in the US military for the decade or so. I believe they have a new commander there, but the riff-raff needs to be identified and fired. Our tax dollars shouldn't be supporting an institution as messed up as this one has been. Just my opinion.

2. The supervisor of the Academy is a woman.
