Conference of Service Academy Superintendents Sign the Sexual Assault Prevention (SAPR) Proclamation (DVIDS)
Some recent identity-based event photos albums on USNA’s Flickr page:
2024: Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM) Proclamation signing

STARRS NOTE: This signing a document is something all the academies are doing this month. “Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Proclamation” video on USAFA’s YouTube channel. This seems to be a never-ending perennial problem over the decades since the academies went co-ed. Both the USAFA and USNA superintendents separately stated recently this is the number one issue they are focusing on at their academies, which seems rather strange for US military academies.
