Report on the Service Academy Sexual Assault and Leadership Survey
Abstract
In response to requests from the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee and the Senate Armed Services Committee, the Inspector General of the Department of Defense conducted an evaluation and issued a report, Evaluation of Sexual Assault, Reprisal, and Related Leadership Challenges at the United States Air Force Academy, December 3, 2004. The Secretary of Defense concurred with the congressional requests for the Inspector General of the Department of Defense to conduct a survey on this topic covering all three Service Academies. The survey, conducted in March/April 2004, gathered information from cadets and midshipmen on (1) their values, (2) their experiences with sexual harassment and sexual assault while at the academy, (3) Academy climate factors that might cause or contribute to gender problems, (4) the scope of recent sexual assault incidents at their academies, and (5) factors that affect sexual assault reporting at the academies. The work was intended to assist senior Department and Academy leaders, and Members of the Congress, in identifying changes or adjustments to improve future Academy operations, gender climates, and perceptions.
