Shannon Faulkner

Shannon Faulkner was the first female cadet to The Citadel. Faulkner enrolled after a successful lawsuit against the military academy. Despite her winning in court after four years of battle, she chose to drop out after less than a week because of exhaustion and allegations of abuse from other male cadets.

As of 2004, The Citadel's College of Graduate and Professional Studies is 60.4% female (588 women of a total of 973 graduate students). The Citadel itself does not mention Faulkner's name in its history.
