20% of Citadel Females Assaulted, Survey Finds
Almost 20% of the female cadets at The Citadel last spring reported being sexually assaulted since enrolling at the state military college, according to results of a survey released by the school in Charleston.
“Some wonder why I would release information that reflects negatively on the college,” said the school’s president, retired Air Force Lt. Gen. John W. Rosa. “My reason is simple: In order for us to address these issues, we must discuss them openly.”
The Citadel opened its doors to female cadets 10 years ago. Last year, 118 women and 1,770 men were enrolled.
