An Air Force Academy survey found that 41 percent of cadets who identified themselves as non-Christian said they were subjected to unwanted proselytizing at least once or twice last year.
Overall, 19 percent of all cadets said they were subjected to unwanted proselytizing. Participation by cadets in the official academy survey, conducted in December and January, was both voluntary and anonymous. Forty-seven percent, or 2,170, cadets participated in the poll.
Lt. Gen. Michael Gould, the academy superintendent, had resisted disclosing specifics of the survey but now plans to release some details on Friday after several groups, including The Associated Press, filed Freedom of Information Act requests.
Gould has said he could make more headway on correcting problems and building on progress by working internally than by making the survey results public.
An academy spokesman did not immediately return an after-hours message from the AP on Thursday.
