The Citadel Board of Visitors Teleconference Minutes
The board meeting focused primarily on the potential establishment of a maritime academy at The Citadel. Discussions included an analysis of the national mariner shortage, infrastructure requirements, enrollment feasibility, and potential capital funding challenges. As an alternative to a full academy model, the board evaluated a proposal for a Maritime Logistics degree program as a sustainable first step. Additionally, the board entered into an executive session to discuss legal matters related to pending, threatening, and potential claims.
