Citadel Grad Favors Court Ruling m
By DAVID L. DILLARD
Chronicle Sttff Wnier
A woman's reccnt attempt to
attend classes with cadets at The
Citadel, in Charleston, S.C., will
probably be fought by school offi
cials but eventually women should
be admitted, according to An Milli
gan, a graduate of The Citadel and
"director of the Winston-Salem
Housing Authority.
"1 don't see how they can't
(allow women to attend) eventually
considering it's not a private
school," Milligan said. "It has some
uniqueness to being all male, but it
* was jus$ a matter of time."
Milligan said attending the
school would not be easy, but he
supports her effort.
"There are a lot of physical
things to it like running in the
swamps and in the mud, but a
woman who decides she wants to
do it, she will be able to," he said.
"As an African American, it's hard
. for me to condone anyone being
discriminated against. Some experi
ences have to change looking at the
scope of how our world really is."
Shannon Faulkner, the woman
trying to enter The Citadel, will be
allowed to attend classes with the
cadets while her lawsuit challenging
th? military college's all-male
admissions policy is heard.
She would be the first woman
n *
Art MiUigan
to attend day classes with cadets in
The Citadel's 151-year history.
Women are allowed in night and
summer classes.
"They told me and I was hop
ping and hollering. I just screamed.
I mean, oh my goodness, I can't
believe this," Ms. Faulkner told
Associated Press.
"This is the school I want to
get my education from. My ultimate
goal is to get into the Corps of
Cadets. I won't stop fighting that
battle."
A U.S. District judge has
ruled in August that Faulkner could
attend day classes, but not partici
pate in the military program until
her lawsuit was resolved. The 4th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
Richmond. Va., upheld the order.
The judges, in a 2-1 decision,
found the harm in keeping Ms.
Faulkner out of classes outweighed
any harm to The Citadel. Temporar
ily allowing her to attend cllkses is
not the same as integrating or
changing The Citadel's military
program, the decision said.
The Citadel kept Ms. Faulkner
from enrolling this semester by
appealing Houck's order. Ms. Coe
said her client, who now attends the
University of South Carolina at
Spartanburg, would probably ? regis
ter next semester.
The Citadel and Virginia Mil
itary Institute are the only two state
supported, all-male military col
leges in the nation. VMI has
proposed creating a women's lead
ership program at nearby Mary
Baldwin College as an alternative to
admitting women. A federal judge
will hold a hearing on that plan in
January.
