Naval War College head reassigned pending probe
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The head of the U.S. Naval War College was removed from his post Monday, days after The Associated Press reported he was under investigation amid allegations of mismanagement.
Inspector general investigations, across the Defense Department, routinely take months or more than a year. Provost Lewis M. Duncan has temporarily assumed the president's duties."Team_this will be my last email to you," Harley wrote."Due to the distractions caused by the unfounded AP article last week, I am stepping down as President of YOUR college effective immediately."
The college on Monday also postponed a strategy forum that was due to start Tuesday and was expected to draw high-ranking officials including Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer, along with hundreds of guests. Spencer was still scheduled to speak Friday at the graduation ceremony for the elite school, which grooms future admirals and generals.
Multiple current and former college employees blamed the budget problems in part on substantial raises granted by Harley to some faculty, as well spending on certain contractors and others, who they said brought little benefit to the college. They spoke about their concerns on condition of anonymity because they feared professional retaliation.
