The Air Force Academy’s athletic department got a passing grade in an inspector general’s review of programs that followed a player misconduct scandal.
The rating of “effective” is essentially a C on the Air Force’s grading scale. The program earned accolades for hosting events and training cadets but was knocked for problems managing discipline and low morale.
“This inspection validates some of the areas where we know we can improve,” academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson said in a statement. “However, it also highlights there have been significant gains over the past year and that there are program strengths and a number of areas in the department that are effectively meeting their mission.”
Academy officials received the report a week ago and had been silent on its contents.
