Air Force Academy discovers widespread cheating

[StarsAndStripes] Almost 100 Air Force Academy cadets have admitted to cheating or tolerating it during a weekly knowledge test, typically required for freshmen.

Cheating is specifically prohibited by the Academy’s Honor Code, which states "We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does."

The cadets who admitted to cheating have received punitive sanctions and rehabilitation actions, according to a Thursday news release. Punitive sanctions can include restriction to base, removal from sports teams and loss of leadership roles, among other punishments, according to the Honor Code handbook.

In an email, Superintendent Tony Bauernfeind said he appreciated the leadership of Cadet Honor Officers to address the violations, but the behavior was concerning.

"The prevalence of cheating and the method employed suggest a failure in our culture of honor, integrity and accountability," he said.

Bauernfeind promised to make changes to strengthen the commitment to the code, including clarifying the understanding of required evidence and how Honor Boards effectively function.

"We will take immediate and decisive action to address shortcomings while we continue to ensure due-process," he wrote.

The Academy is continuing to investigate and will hold any other cadets involved accountable, the release said.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Academy suspected about 250 cadets had cheated when they were sent home to study remotely.

Does not exit in a DEI environment. When the command believes in multiple genders and 'white supremacy', you are no where near the concept of 'integrity'.
