AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (KOAA) — According to Air Force Academy (USAFA) sources, about 100 furloughed civilian instructors will return to teach on Wednesday.

This comes one week after the federal government shutdown amidst a funding fight in Washington between Democrats and Republicans with no end in sight.

Since the Oct. 1 shutdown, only military faculty and a handful of non-federal instructors have continued teaching USAFA cadets.

According to sources, when possible, this entailed finding larger classrooms to combine multiple sections of cadets if the same class was being offered simultaneously.

If that wasn’t possible, instructors had to teach multiple offerings of a course in addition to their typical workload.
