After photos surfaced on social media showing Citadel cadets in white hoods and reportedly singing Christmas carols, eight cadets have been suspended from the school as an investigation continues into the photos.
In a statement from The Citadel's Lt. Gen. John Rosa, the cadets "were singing Christmas carols as part of a 'Ghosts of Christmas Past' skit. These images are not consistent with our core values of honor, duty and respect."
Rosa goes on to identify the student in blue as an upperclassmen. Rosa said suspension proceedings had begun for the students involved, but the investigation was ongoing. Since then, school officials said eight students had been suspended.
