Air Force Academy’s sexual assault prevention office blasted for ‘derelict’ management

By: Stephen Losey ?  9 hours ago

A scathing report on misconduct and mismanagement in the Air Force Academy’s troubled sexual assault prevention and response office blasted its former director as “derelict in the performance of [her] duties.” The investigation substantiated, in whole or in part, three allegations of mismanagement by Teresa Beasley, the academy’s former sexual assault response coordinator. It recommended she be removed from her position as SARC and stripped of all supervisory duties.

The substantiated allegations found that Beasley:
• Failed to manage her staff or properly address ethical concerns regarding the SARC and SAPR staff.
• Spread rumors about personnel. Another portion of that allegation, that she allegedly allowed a climate of favoritism in the SAPR office, was not substantiated.
• Demonstrated a lack of competency that jeopardized her office’s ability to support victims of sexual assault.

The report paints a portrait of an office that had lost its way, torn apart by gossip, feuding, shoddy record-keeping, workplace bullying and poor management that led the rest of the academy to lose faith in its ability to prevent sexual assault and help victims.

The investigation, dated June 26, was launched by former academy superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson and began as an effort to find out what was behind longstanding problems with the SAPR office. The report said 100 percent of SAPR office personnel had filed equal opportunity complaints against other SARC and SAPR employees, for example.
