Is West Point being lenient with the cheaters because they are athletes, because many of them are black, or both? Is West Point admitting black students and athletes who cannot pass calculus (the subject that they cheated on)?

theses cadets should all be removed from west point and have to serve as enlisted for the remainder of there service. for every one of them going to school at west point there are 20 trying to get in. Anyone willing to cheat at west point can not be trusted to lead men into combat situations. We as a nation depend on are officer corp too have higher standard of behavior and to internalize things like integrity. the willingness to cheat to achieve a goal is indicative of an officers willingness to not fallow illegal orders, there willingness to hand over control to civilian authority and understanding that it might mean standing against that civilian control when there control is counter to the constitutional restraints that are in place.

West Point’s tolerance to cheating is unacceptable and disgusting.

“They remain on the team because West Point Superintendent Lt. Gen. Darryl Williams suspended the school’s policy of barring cadets who violate the academy’s honor code from representing the school in public.”

I am surprised by this move of West Point favoring money over honor. Why would the General suspend this?

Furthermore, why has the U.S. Army allow this corruption at West Point?

Oh to send a message. The Army should for forfeit its entire season.

Give the trophy to Navy.

I bet an Obama General.

The military began to change under Obama. Remember him going after all the Patriots. Obama did not get all the higher ups, but he got a lot.

President Trump, shall he get a second term miracle, should clean up the mess and restore it back.

This happened under the General’s leadership. He should be busted and kicked out.

Remember Tailhook? The Navy Secretary was not in Vegas, but got the blame for it.

The answer to your questions is in the article:

"Under academy policy, cadets found guilty of cheating would not have been allowed to play on sports teams after Nov 30, the date they were found in violation of the code.

But in an Oct. 23 memo, Williams wrote that the policy 'resulted in an inequitable application of consequences and developmental opportunities' for some cadets."

And yes, Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams is a brother, first and foremost, and above all else.

No one who is a service academy graduate will be surprised by this. I graduated in the 80s from USAFA. Our football players were routinely coddled and exempted from anything harsh. You’d barely know they were part of your squadron. And almost the entire football team was caught in a cheating scandal back then, as well.
