U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (KOAA) — U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper (D) and Representative Jeff Crank (R) have sent a bipartisan letter to the Secretary of the Air Force, Troy Meink, expressing their concerns about the proposed faculty cuts at the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA).
Both Hickenlooper and Crank are on the USAFA Board of Visitors, and in May, Hickenlooper joined other senators to voice concerns about USAFA's faculty restructuring.
