"The complaint that triggered the investigation alleges that about 60 percent of academy cadets who took introductory calculus classes between 1996 and 2006 were taught by instructors who did not have master's degrees in mathematics, statistics or mathematics education."
Who taught these cadets, then?
I think instructors without masters degrees....if I'm reading that correctly.

The document says the vice dean was accused of making "a false official statement" and the dean was accused of "inaccurately portraying" faculty credentials.
The complaint also alleges that Born was quoted in the Colorado Springs Independent, a weekly newspaper, as claiming that all academy instructors have graduate degrees in the areas they teach or in related areas. The complaint claims that is incorrect.
It does not identify the dean and vice dean by name. Brig. Gen. Dana Born has been dean of faculty since October 2004.
Flieger,
I was not trying to tarnish their careers at all, and if it appeared that way, my apologies.
I was just stating to respond to Luigi about career ender, that both had met their 20 yrs and because they made rank, they had the ability to remain, BUT if the AFA wanted to clean house, they could PCS them since they have been there for yrs.
The PME issue shocked me because she didn't even go to either one as an O4 or an O5.
Let's be brutally honest, the AFA is dealing with this as we speak and trying to get the correct info out there.
As even seen on this forum, some people incorrectly assumed that they didn't have a Masters degree at all, when in reality what it will most likely turn out to be that their Masters is not per se Math, but the requirements for that Masters included Math classes and they used that as a lateral entry.
