Military Academy Poll Cites Sex Harassment
Sexual assaults and harassment are still significant problems at the nation’s military academies, polls of students at the schools indicate, despite recent scandals that triggered training to prevent the behavior.
Up to 6% of the women at the Army, Navy and Air Force academies said they experienced sexual assault during the 2004-05 school year, and about half or more said they were sexually harassed, according to a survey released Friday by the Pentagon.
The survey comes more than two years after a sex abuse scandal at the Air Force Academy.
