Who must a cadet submit their memorandum to when appealing a dismissal?

A cadet must submit their memorandum to the Academy Coordinator when appealing a dismissal because the Academy Coordinator is typically responsible for overseeing academic matters, including student appeals and grievances. The role of the Academy Coordinator often includes coordinating between different departments and ensuring that policies are followed in handling appeals. By directing the submission to this role, it ensures that the appeal will be handled by a knowledgeable individual familiar with the appropriate procedures and protocols that the academy has in place for such situations.

The other positions, while important within the academy, do not usually have the direct responsibility for managing dismissal appeals. For example, the Academy Director often oversees the entire academy's operations, which may include broader strategic decisions, while the Chief Academic Officer is likely focused on high-level academic policy rather than individual student cases. Meanwhile, the Student Affairs Officer may deal with student life issues and support, but they do not generally have the authority or processes in place to manage appeals specifically regarding dismissals.
