What INTEGRITY looks like

Fifteen cadets have been expelled and three others have resigned in a cheating scandal at the United States Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs, an Air Force official said yesterday.

“Obviously, we’re very concerned,” Johnny Whitaker, director of communications for the Air Force Academy said. “The honor code is the foundation of everything we have. Our mission is to train, educate and graduate leaders of character, and so obviously, honesty and integrity are paramount.”

“Any time a cadet lies or cheats or steals,” he said, “you’re just as guilty if you know and don’t do anything about it.”

This from the New York Times.
