Jeffrey Harley<\/a>, who has been criticized for allegedly spending excessively, abusing his hiring authority and otherwise behaving inappropriately \u2014 including keeping a margarita machine in his office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lt. Cmdr. Jacqueline Pau said Monday that Navy leaders felt the change is best for the college because it maintains the integrity of the investigation. Pau, the spokeswoman for Adm. John Richardson, the chief of naval operations, said it would ensure that Harley is afforded due process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inspector general investigations, across the Defense Department, routinely take months or more than a year. <a href=\"https:\/\/usnwc.edu\/Faculty-and-Departments\/Directory\/Lewis-M-Duncan\" target=_blank>Provost Lewis M.

Gary Ross told the AP on Monday that Harley was reassigned to Washington and had not resigned.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2019\/06\/07\/a-navy-admiral-under-investigation-for-free-hugs-twister-games-and-a-margarita-machine-in-his-office\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/War-college-main.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">A Navy admiral under investigation for \u2018free hugs,\u2019 Twister games and a margarita machine in his office<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Multiple current and former college employees told The Associated Press they have raised serious concerns for over a year about Rear Adm.
