- <p>A plucky female challenges the all-male Citadel
- </p>
-
- <p> The Citadel, South Carolina's venerable all-male military college,
- was more than happy to accept Shannon Faulkner among its latest
- recruits--and why not? Faulkner had a 3.7 grade-point average
- and actively participated in sports. Then, after sending the
- 18-year-old from Powdersville a letter of acceptance, the school
- discovered another detail: Shannon Faulkner is a she. The Citadel
- retracted its offer. Faulkner, who legally requested that her
- high school delete references to her sex on her application,
- is suing, challenging the school's sexual segregation of the
- student body.
- </p>
- <p> Last year female Navy veterans sought admission to the Citadel's
- day program for veterans. The Citadel responded by killing the
- program.
