Indianapolis Star: College reviews faculty dress code
A good college professor can inspire a hungry mind with wit, knowledge and teaching style.
But what if he’s wearing an earring? Or she is wearing a skirt above the knee?
That’s a problem, says Earl D. Brooks, president of Tri-State University in Angola, Ind., which issued a detailed dress code policy for faculty last month only to pull it back for more study after some of the school’s 70 professors complained.
“Our policy was not rescinded, but it is under review,” said Brooks, who has led the private Northern Indiana college for the past seven years.
