(U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo.) — The U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) said it is currently investigating potential violations of the Honor Code during a weekly knowledge test.
USAFA claims nearly 100 cadets have admitted to either cheating or tolerating cheating. The cadets who admitted to violating the Honor Code have received punitive sanctions and rehabilitation actions, and USAFA plans to hold accountable any other cadets identified during the investigation.
“The Honor Code is foundational to the U.S. Air Force Academy and the character necessary of warrior leaders,” said Lt. Gen. Tony Bauernfeind, U.S. Air Force Academy Superintendent. “Everyone at our Academy must live and enforce the Honor Code.”
According to USAFA, the investigation is ongoing, and it is working to identify whether more cadets cheated on the test or facilitated cheating. USAFA said it is planning to use information found during the investigation to make changes that strengthen enforcement and commitment to the Honor Code.
