In Charleston, a federal judge dismissed a motion for a mistrial in Shannon Faulkner's sex discrimination suit against The Citadel. Judge Houck called the motion frivolous and warned of possible sanctions. Faulkner, 19, has attended Citadel classes under court order but cannot march with cadets. The Citadel and VMI, both all-male state-supported colleges, face ongoing challenges to their single gender policies. Both sides plan appeals.
