The Government Accountability Office has announced that it will investigate claims of systemic racism within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The announcement comes two months after a government union said most of its surveyed members saw racism as a problem inside the agency. The survey of 1,500 union members who are VA employees concluded that nearly 80 percent of staffers said racism is a moderate or serious issue, with more than half reporting they had witnessed racism aimed at veterans, according to the American Federation of Government Employees.
