Approach Amid Cheating Investigation
March 2, 2021 | By Rachel S. Cohen
The head of the U.S. Air Force Academy on March 2 defended the school’s disciplinary program for students who violate the honor code, as House lawmakers questioned service academy superintendents on a recent spate of cheating scandals.
“We have a very robust honor education system that starts from the day that they walk into the academy,†USAFA Superintendent Lt. Gen. Richard M. Clark told the House Appropriations defense subcommittee.
The school tries to impart those lessons through instruction and mentorship over the course of a student’s tenure at USAFA. If a cadet does slip up, they are sentenced to a probationary period that encourages them to “live honorably and abide by our code,†Clark said.
