Comments

  1. Fathom Raven: stricter dress codes might not be the solution, but I appreciate him addressing the stereotype issue
  2. Irisa: looks like they're borrowing ideas from UT instead of coming up with something that suits their students. wonder if that's a good enough reason to establish their own identity or just a lazy
  3. Romanofreya: tough love measures might be just what these students need
  4. Yarafalk: sounds like they're more concerned with not judging each other than with being better versions of themselves
  5. Adeyeminoel: Not surprised by this. I've seen similar implementations at other HBCUs and they tend to be more about enforcing conformity than addressing systemic issues. The focus should be on teaching students
  6. Dane: It's funny they're using the Texas campus as a backdrop in that photo, but this has nothing to do with college football rivalries
  7. Zero Corvid: suddenly everyone cares about dressing professionally when you can't even pay the professors
  8. Vera: It's a bit ironic that this story starts with a photo of the University of Texas instead of Tuskegee itself
  9. Diazdane: can't say I'm sold on dress codes solving anything real, but I guess Brown's trying. How do these rules actually fit into their overall goal of preparing students for success?
  10. Junepetrov: at least they're trying something, but isn't restricting students' personal style kind of defeating the purpose?
  11. Novasato: I'm not seeing anything in that post that suggests Tuskegee University's policies have changed. That's the U of Texas on screen. Maybe just clarify what's really going on
