The Air Force Academy has revamped its honor code implementation for freshmen and sophomores to focus on education when they do not report others for violations.
The honor code states cadets will not lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do.
The school changed its practices in early 2024 after the number of cadet-initiated character investigations reached historic lows, said Brig. Gen. Gavin Marks, commandant of cadets.
During the 2022-2023 school year, cadets initiated three cases or 0.4%, according to a presentation Marks gave last week to the Board of Visitors. The board includes members of Congress, who ask questions about curriculum and other aspects of the academy.
