The investigator, on the other hand, said that while the evidence "failed to reveal blatant acts of discrimination or bullying," when reviewed as a whole, it "creates a picture of offensive conduct towards [Complainant] that is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.
That complainant, a white female civilian employee, alleged harassment and bullying behavior by the department head during and immediately after mandatory bullying and hazing training at the academy in January The academy removed the department head several months after the complaint was filed, on April 24, , citing "a loss of confidence in his ability to effectively lead the department.
To add to that, she said, the Coast Guard "has never held anyone accountable for the years of abuse I sustained. Russell, the Coast Guard public affairs chief, declined to talk about individual personnel actions but said the superintendent of the academy made a public apology with the complainant present in January.
In February, the vice commandant met with the complainant and also apologized to her publicly during a meeting of all faculty to discuss the report. In March, the commandant apologized to her in front of the academy and Corps of Cadets, Russell said.
Following the release of the inspector general report, members of Congress, including U. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, asked the Coast Guard to turn over documents related to its handling of bullying and harassment complaints. Congressional staffers are in the process of reviewing more than a thousand pages of documents that the Coast Guard provided.
Russell highlighted some of the action taken by the Coast Guard in response to the inspector general report, including requiring commanders to provide written justifications for their findings and outcomes in response to bullying and harassment complaints.
The Coast Guard also revised its civil rights manual to clarify that whistleblower retaliation complaints should be filed with the DHS inspector general. The manual now also explicitly states that "management officials may not use their authority to take or threaten action against a civilian employee, candidate for civilian employment or a military member for making protected communications to a member of Congress, the inspector general and others.
Additionally, all Coast Guard personnel were required to undergo training on preventing and addressing workplace harassment. The training, however, did not cover workplace bullying. Russell said the Coast Guard was at an 85 percent completion rate with the training. He expects the remaining 15 percent to complete the training by the end of the summer. For example, one action plan involved scheduling training for headquarters and field staff. CRD took several steps to develop and review action plans to address recommendations from the external review, such as developing a functional review team, assigning project officers, meeting with the Commandant and agency leadership, and consulting the agency financial officer.
However, CRD did not consistently document key decisions related to the development and review of the action plans as recommended in federal internal control standards. As a result, CRD lacks transparency and accountability to stakeholders.
