U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- The U.S. Air Force Academy is currently investigating potential violations of the Honor Code during a weekly knowledge test.
Nearly 100 U.S. Air Force Academy cadets have admitted to either cheating or tolerating cheating. The cadets who admitted to violating the Honor Code have received punitive sanctions and rehabilitation actions, and the Academy will hold accountable any other cadets identified during the investigation.
“The Honor Code is foundational to the U.S. Air Force Academy and the character necessary of warrior leaders,” said Lt. Gen. Tony Bauernfeind, U.S. Air Force Academy Superintendent. “Everyone at our Academy must live and enforce the Honor Code.”
We are continuing to investigate and identify whether additional cadets cheated on the test or facilitated cheating. We will use the information discovered during the investigation to make changes that strengthen enforcement and commitment to the Honor Code.
