Air Force Academy Weakens Honor Code

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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

No surprise here.  Now the Naval Academy needs to weaken its code so all three academies will have less honor. :im waiting:
