AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) — An Air Force Academy officer "pushed a wrong button" and sent an e-mail with sensitive details about on-campus investigations to all 4,400 cadets, school officials confirmed.

The e-mail named 40 cadets who have been punished or are under investigation by the Academy along with details of each case. It also named and gave details about cadets who are being treated for mental health problems and who are graduating late.

Academy officials refused to comment on any of the material in the e-mail, which was sent Tuesday and later was obtained by The Gazette.

Cadets named on the list have been assured their cases will be handled fairly, said Col. Marty Coffman, commander of the 34th Training Group.
