Navy does not recommend punishment for ex-War College president over ethics allegations: report

The Navy's inspector general has reportedly cleared the former president of the U.S. Naval War College of most accusations of improper workplace conduct.

The Providence Journal reported Tuesday that of 21 allegations against Rear Adm. Jeffrey Harley, the inspector general (IG) found 12 allegations to be “unsubstantiated,” while another seven were substantiated and two were referred to other branches of the Navy.

Harley last year was accused in multiple complaints of improper hiring practices and misconduct in the period after he became head of the school in July 2016.
