PUB DATE 2003-09-22 NOTE 129p. AVAILABLE FROM For full text: http://www.usafa.af.mil/d20030922usafareport1.pdf. PUB TYPE Reports Evaluative (142) EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF01/PC06 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *College Students; Higher Education; *Military Schools; Military Training; *Sex Discrimination; *Sexual Abuse IDENTIFIERS *Air Force Academy CO ABSTRACT This report is the result of the first investigation by an independent body of a problem that has plagued the U.S. Air Force Academy for at least a decade, and possibly since the admission of women in 1976. At the direction of Congress, the Secretary of Defense appointed seven U.S. citizens with expertise in the military academies, behavioral and psychological sciences, and standards and practices related to proper treatment of sexual assault victims. It is clear from the review of nearly a decade of efforts to solve the problem of sexual assault at the U.S. Air Force Academy that the common failure in each of the efforts was the absence of sustained attention to the problem and follow-up on the effectiveness of the solution. Between 1993 and 2002, there were 142 allegations of sexual assault at the Academy, an average of more than 14 allegations each year. In addition, a survey in May 2003 showed that 80.8% of females who said that they had been victims of sexual assault did not report the incident.

    Fan Guide 2013-14 U.S. Air Force Academy Athletics www.goairforcefalcons.com Dear Falcon Fan Welcome to your United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) and the beautiful city of Colorado Springs. We are very proud of our world-class facilities and venues and are excited to share them with you. Thank you for taking the time to come out and support our incredibly talented cadet-athletes as they compete on the “fields of friendly strife”! USAFA competes as a Division I member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 27 different sports. We also field two non-NCAA affiliated sports, boxing and cheerleading, which brings our total sports offered to 29. The majority of our teams compete in the Mountain West Conference, while others compete in conferences such as the Atlantic Hockey Association and the Mountain Pacific Sport Federation, to name a few. Regardless of which conference our teams are associated with, they all compete against numerous non-conference opponents, many that are nationally ranked, with special emphasis on our sister service academies. In addition to cheering on your Falcons, we encourage you to visit the Air Force Academy Gift Shop, located inside the Barry Goldwater Visitor Center, as well as the many friendly businesses that support Air Force athletics in the local community. The Visitor Center’s hours are 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. daily, with the exception of Christmas and New Year’s Day. All profits from our Gift Shop directly support our cadet-athletes. We believe strongly in the benefits of athletic competition and recognize that you, our loyal fans, help enhance the mission of developing leaders of character for our Air Force and our nation.

At the direction of Congress, the Secretary of Defense appointed seven private U.S. citizens with expertise in the United States military academies, behavioral and psychological sciences and standards and practices relating to proper treatment of sexual assault victims. Based on the fact that these were the qualifications for the Panel members, we understood our charge was to undertake an investigation and to make recommendations with a single priority in mind: the safety and well-being of the women at the U.S. Air Force Academy. From our first meeting, I have been impressed with the manner in which each member of the Panel has approached this difficult and complicated matter with a single-minded determination to understand the plights of the victims in order to find a solution – a solution that puts the victims first, either by preventing sexual assaults or by providing victims recourse to a process and procedures that will support the victim and prosecute the assailant.
