Citadel President John Rosa said the decision was "essential" to the college's teachings.
"Uniformity is the cornerstone of this four-year leader development model. The standardization of cadets in apparel, overall appearance, actions and privileges is essential to the learning goals and objectives of the college," Rosa, a retired lieutenant general, said in a statement Tuesday.
The public military college in Charleston, South Carolina, has never made an exception to its uniform in its storied history. The Citadel is known for its strict, button-up uniforms that its cadets are mandated to wear nearly all of the time. The school has a 35-page booklet of rules and regulations.

Here are our rules.
11:53 rules and traditions don't matter anymore in the new America, now it is give in to the minority, no longer majority rules. I see the ACLU and other Liberal nut jobs filing a lawsuit over this.
Good for the Citadel. No Hijab's here. You want to wear a Hijab, go to the countries where they are worn. This is the USA, you don't like our ways, leave.
Why'd the school admit her in the first place?Good job standing up for principles and traditions!
Your probably right 12:10. Watch the Citadel cave when the heat is on.
That's why they are called
U-N-I-F-O-R-M-S.
Look it up in a dictionary!
Finally., somebody with seeds.
its a start.
No way the Citidel will cave. Never happen. Semper Fi.
Way to go Citadel! Make them follow your rules !
I am proud of the Citadel!
Citadel will cave just like Lee college did for 6 black students.
Typical xenophobic bigot. This is the USA where you are free to practice whatever religion and wear whatever clothing you want. Why don't you go to a country that doesn't believe in religious freedom?
I getting sick of people applying to places they know will go against their beliefs. You knew the rules BEFORE you applied yet want things to change just for you. ENOUGH. You are NOT SPECIAL! Not everyone deserves a trophy!
