On the subject. I agree with a dress code. It sets a precedence. The reason predominantly white schools dont enforce it is porbably they dont care or are afraid of offending students since we live in a sue happy society these days. But like the previous poster said college is about more than just an academic education it prepares you togo into the professional world and workforce. SO you might as well learn to look the part.

Just wanted to say "ditto" to your thoughts. And I agree with the poster that stated that do-rags are the male equivalent to wearing rollers outside in public IMO. Just because you "can" do it, doesn't mean you "should". Appearance does matter in our society. Now I'm not saying that every campus should have ladies/men stepping out in suits, high heels and dresses (although some do on various campuses) but at least be presentable.
I'm glad that universities are now starting to take into account dress codes (I believe it is Hampton's business school that is now requiring its students to dress in business attire a few days a week) because thats how it is when you work for someone else and if this is what you're going to college to prepare for, you should be learning all the skillsss you need to suceed, both academically and culturally (in terms of working for someone else).
