* DENVER – Four top officials will lose their jobs at the Air Force Academy because of a sexual assault scandal that has placed the reputation of the elite training school in jeopardy, congressional sources confirmed Tuesday.
The Air Force plans to announce Wednesday that two top commanders at the Colorado Springs academy – chief of cadets Brig. Gen. S. Taco Gilbert and vice superintendent Col. Steve Eddy – will be removed. Gilbert was completing a two-year stint at the school.
Also slated to lose their jobs are Col. Bob Eskridge, vice commander, and Col. Sue Slavec, training group commander, according to information presented at a classified briefing Tuesday by Air Force Secretary James Roche to the Senate Armed Services Committee. All four are expected to be reassigned.
