Does the United States Naval Academy Admissions Board evaluate an applicant's moral values if so, how?

摘要

If moral character is an important trait for an officer, one would assume that the United States Naval Academy would admit only those who possess the requisite moral values. This study explored that assumption. Through the literature review, this study examined the Admission Board's process for evaluating an applicant's moral values, its' charter and each step of the admissions process. The study considered what impact the espoused values of the Naval Academy had on the Admissions Board members and their determinations with regard to applicants.
