Stupidity or Reprehensible Racism?

One question I’d have is that even given those requirements is whether cadets at the Citadel are considered military personnel in the same way ROTC cadets in their last 2 years of undergrad in civilian colleges or those who accepted ROTC scholarships considering Citadel graduating seniors are under no obligation as stated on their website to accept a commission or otherwise under any military service obligation upon graduation?

There’s a difference as the other two categories of ROTC cadets I cited above usually DO have an obligation to accept commissions and complete some years of military service after graduation.
