Air Force Academy Changes Policies

When the Class of 2007 cadets reported for in-processing at the U.S. Air Force Academy in late June, they found many new changes that are putting academy policies more directly in line with those of the active Air Force.

Throughout the academy, privileges are now granted based not merely on individual class seniority, but on the academic, athletic and military merits of the squadrons as a whole. Similarly, the disciplinary system more closely resembles the Air Force's. For example, a strict alcohol policy is in effect, with offenders now charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice or expelled.
