Report: Top Air Force Academy Officials To Leave

Exclusive Investigation By 7News Leads To Changes

POSTED: 8:29 a.m. MST March 19, 2003

NBC News is reporting that the top two leaders of the Air Force Academy will be ousted as early as next week.

The network cites unnamed sources in reporting that the school's top two officials will leave next week. NBC says it's an effort to clean house and make female cadets feel safer.

But Lieutenant Colonel Dewey Ford says Lieutenant General John Dallager will retire this summer as planned, and that no other personnel decisions have been made.

Air Force officials are expected to announce changes in how the academy handles assault allegations at the end of the month.

Ford says issues at the academy predate the current leadership.

Dozens of cadets have said they were sexually assaulted at the academy and then discouraged from reporting it.
