Dive Brief:

• Despite allegations that U.S. Air Force Academy cadets drugged women for sex at a 2011 party — which led to the court-martial convictions of three cadet athletes, the dismissal of five others, the resignation of six others, and the dismissal of three others for unrelated misconduct — a recent review of the academy's athletic department by its inspector general found nothing that merits investigation into wrongdoing.
• The academy received the inspector general’s report about a week ago, but as of Tuesday, academy officials hadn’t discussed it and had refused to release the full report, despite earlier pledges for transparency, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported.
• The review had been ordered by the academy’s superintendent, Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson, during the Gazette’s investigation into the 2011 party and its aftermath.

Dive Insight:

If there is any mention in the report of the 2011 party or the effect it had on the athletic department, academy officials have buried it by not releasing the report itself. In a press release on the report on Tuesday, the academy had no mention of the misconduct scandal. The inspector general issued what is essentially a “C” grade for the department.
