FULL STATEMENT SUBMITTED: Mike Rose Memorandum for USAFA BOV 1DEC25 (pdf)
SUBJECT: REFORMS NEEDED IN AFA DISENROLLMENT, CONDUCT AND HONOR SYSTEMS
BLUF: I strongly recommend that, as authorized by the statutory mandate that the AFA “Board [of Visitors] shall inquire into the morale, discipline, and social climate . . . and other matters relating to the Academy,” 10 U.S.C. §9455, and applicable regulations, the AFA BOV authorize, during its 08 December 2025 virtual meeting, a group of legal and other consultants knowledgeable about AFA policies and legal requirements to investigate and recommend improvements in the fairness, timeliness, efficiency, utility, legal compliance and effects on the morale, discipline and social climate at the AFA associated with AFA cadet disciplinary, academic and disenrollment matters. I recommend that this group of consultants deliver an interim report of their findings and recommended proposals and courses of action to correct deficiencies and to strengthen the fairness, utility, and integrity of outcomes in AFA cadet disciplinary, academic and disenrollment matters to the BOV no later than 90 days after the group’s official inception. . . .
