As someone on the other side of the desk, I can attest to the very real ways that student attire can be truly disruptive to a learning enviroment, and in that I understand the administration feeling a need to in someway construct some parameters that help create an environment conducive to learning.
Have debated this with siblings, one of whom is a Morehouse grad and very much in support of the dress code, and one of the points that I have made is that colleges across the board are facing issues, most in the disciplinary range, that most do not have the infrastructure to deal with. The infrastructure does not exist because in the past such codes (both dress and behavioral) have been unwritten and yet uniformally understood and enacted. Colleges are now having to devise the regulations to try to curtail behaviors that, very honestly, did not exist on such a broad scale even 10, 15 years ago. They are not always going to do this perfectly in the first attempt. I would not be surprised to see this policy fine-tuned both in language and in implementation in the future.
