https://oaprod.hq.af.mil/saf/pa/misc/listserv.cfm {EXCERPT} PRESS RELEASE -- Secretary of the Air Force, Directorate of Public Affairs Release No. 0902047 Sep 2, 2004 Air Force Releases USAFA Report Washington - The Air Force released a review of the faculty system at the U.S. Air Force Academy today. The 68-page document titled Study and Report Related to Permanent Professors at the U.S. Air Force Academy, was released Sept. 2, 2004. The 2004 National Defense Authorization Act directed the Secretary of the Air Force to complete a study and report related to the permanent professors at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Permanent professors, along with senior military professors, civilian faculty and rotating military professors comprise the faculty system at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Conducted by Retired U.S. Navy Admiral Charles Larson, former superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy and current vice chairman of the multi-campus Maryland Board of Regents, the study provided the Secretary with 12 findings and 13 recommendations. "We found all of the findings and recommendations to be thought-provoking and to have merit," said Michael L. Dominguez, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. "In the instance where we disagree, we have an alternative approach that we believe is more appropriate," Mr. Dominguez said. "We recognize that our ability to make the right change at the right time is what will allow us to improve the Academy." Although it was not in the study's charter, one of the findings was the atmosphere for women at the U.S. Air Force Academy has improved. The study found, in discussions with midshipmen and cadets who had served exchange tours at sister service academies during the first semester of the academic year, unanimous agreement that the climate for women at the Air Force Academy has improved dramatically and attributed some of this positive momentum to the Agenda for Change and the promulgation of the new Officer Development System. The study also found permanent professors would like the current prohibition on assuming command while on sabbatical leave lifted. The Department of Defense supported this initiative, noting the law should not exclude the option of command in operational units on those infrequent occasions when it makes sense for the Academy, the affected unit and the officer.
