I'm not sure I predicted accurately the release of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Organizational and Climate Assessment Task Force Report. I've been out-of-pocket, and it seems the report may have been issued this past Thursday... I had thought it would be yesterday...

Okay, moving on to details... the report is posted here.

According to the Chief of Staff's report, the task force identified a number of opportunities for improvement, related to this principal themes:

• Emphasize the concept of officership
• Assess and improve cadet leadership and character development programs
• Elevate respect in the cadet experience
• Create a more diverse faculty, staff, and Corps of Cadets
• Improve governance through external oversight
• Plan and deploy long term programmatic requirements

More on this to follow, I'm sure.
