West Point chief blames transfer on Hoffmann over cheating
West Point commandant Brig. Gen. Walter F. Ulmer Jr. says he was told Army Secretary Martin R. Hoffmann vowed last summer that Ulmer must go amid the academy cheating scandal. Hoffmann denies the claim and says Ulmer’s early move was a routine management decision. Ulmer calls his reassignment abrupt and says it harms about 4000 cadets while Bra. Gen. John Bard appears as his successor.
