DENVER (AP) -- A team from the Yale Divinity School says it has found lingering problems among chaplains at the Air Force Academy, where commanders face allegations that evangelical Christians wield too much influence among cadets and staff.

A new report obtained Friday by The Associated Press says the chaplains' activities may conflict with the goals of school leaders and the Air Force overall.

<>''These inconsistencies confuse expectations and may encourage inappropriate pastoral reactions,'' the Yale group said.
