The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking public comments on a proposal submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The proposal involves collecting information through the Service Academy Gender Relations Survey, which gathers data about sexual assault, harassment, and gender relations in U.S. Military Service Academies like West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy. The survey aims to improve existing programs and policies by assessing the environment and social perspectives at these academies. The DoD plans to collect this information biennially and invites comments by January 15, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Defense wants to ask students at military schools questions about safety and how boys and girls get along, to see if they can make things better. Before they start, they want people to tell them what they think about this plan by January 15, 2025.
