  We analyze the degree to which parity-violating (PV) electroexcitation of the
$\Delta(1232)$ resonance may be used to extract the weak neutral axial vector
transition form factors. We find that the axial vector electroweak radiative
corrections are large and theoretically uncertain, thereby modifying the
nominal interpretation of the PV asymmetry in terms of the weak neutral form
factors. We also show that, in contrast to the situation for elastic electron
scattering, the axial $N\to\Delta$ PV asymmetry does not vanish at the photon
point as a consequence of a new term entering the radiative corrections. We
argue that an experimental determination of these radiative corrections would
be of interest for hadron structure theory, possibly shedding light on the
violation of Hara's theorem in weak, radiative hyperon decays.
