AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – A woman has been nominated to replace a
dean at the Air Force Academy who was criticized for failing to
recognize a growing sexual assault problem at the school.

President Bush nominated Col. Dana H. Born to replace David A. Wagie,
dean of faculty at the academy since 1998, the school announced
Friday.

Wagie, who was cleared by the Pentagon of any wrong...

Ahhh, the good ol Associated Press, flogging a six month old story. To
recount, the assertions of sexual assault, mostly unsubstantiated and
now many evaporated led to the release of the Superintendent, the
Commandant of Cadets and the two senior officers in the Officer
Training Department (one of whom had only been assigned for 30 days
and couldn't have been on station when any of the allegations
occured.)

The Dean of Students is not part of the problem nor even part of the
solution at this point.

But, flog, flog, flog.

The scandal du jour is about steroid use in the athletic department.
Last month's scandal was about cheating on tests. The sex thing has
been gone for a long time.
