Air Force Starts Self-Inquiry

The Air Force Academy has launched an investigation of its athletic department and is demanding more accountability from coaches after the Colorado Springs Gazette reported allegations of lax oversight and athlete misconduct.

Academy superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle D. Johnson has released a statement acknowledging "troubling" behavior by some athletes and other cadets.

Johnson told The Gazette that the academy inspector general's office will look into the athletic department to determine whether sports programs promote the school's ideals.
