Compliance into the Weeds

Leadership Failures at Ft. Hood, with Special Guest Diane St. Ives


Listen Later

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. Today we take on a much more somber topic and set of facts in this, our 201st episode. We have our first guest, Diane St. Ives, a retired US Army officer now practicing law in Houston. Diane is also a Director of the State Bar of Texas.

 Matt, Tom and Diane consider the recent US Special Commission Report on leadership and culture failures in the areas of sexual harassment and assault which have occurred at Ft. Hood. These issues were brought to a head with the sexual assault and brutal murder of Specialist Vanessa Guillén, who disappeared on April 22. She was murdered by a fellow soldier, who killed himself in June when he escaped Army investigators taking him into custody.

Some of the issues we consider are:

  • What were and are the continuing failures of leadership at Ft. Hood in these areas?
  • Why is the SHARP program simply window dressing?
  • What will it take to make a change?
  • Our Guest Diane St. Ives relates her personal experience of being sexually harassed over 40 years ago while a Private at Ft. Hood. She talks about the retaliation she received for reporting the crime and how it all still affects her today.
  • What can be some of the solutions for this situation and how can compliance principles help turn around a continuing culture of misogyny in the Army.
  • Resources
