From the Earlybird this morning with the source being Yahoo.com.
Assuming the source is correct, the part that caught my attention was
9800 - 4108 = 4829. Understand that AFA has more requirements than a typical college, but more non-students on payroll seems odd.

Total academy payroll — including military personnel, civilian employees and contractors — was $346 million in 2012, down $71 million, or 16.9 percent.
About 9,800 military members and civilians worked at the academy in 2012, a decrease of 590, or 6 percent. It wasn't immediately clear whether any of the personnel cuts hit the faculty.
Military personnel at the academy totaled about 5,700 in 2012, down 700, or 10.9 percent, from 2011. The total included 4,108 cadets in 2012, 315 fewer than in 2011.
