Title: The IIOD Service Academies: Issues for Congress
Authors: Robert L. Goldich, Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division 
Abstract: The long-standing reputation of the academies for high ethical standards is being questioned more than at any time in the past several decades. Options for Congress include (1) doing nothing, assuming major problems are being adequately addressed and minor ones can be solved administratively; (2) ensuring that minor reforms not fundamentally changing the academies are undertaken; (3) cutting or increasing enrollment; (4) making the academies exclusively military schools for persons already having undergraduate degrees; (5) adding graduate education to the academies; and (6) abolishing the academies altogether.
