DLSU Dress Code Issue (bawal na nga ba ang tsinelas?!)

Are you FOR or AGAINST the Dress Code Policy?

Yes!
 
 23

No...
 
 38




so, kanina kakalabas lang yung bagong issue ng Plaridel and one article about the Dress Code Issue...

Base on the article, The OVP-Acads (Office of the Vice President for Academics -> Student Council) is currently studying for implementing a Dress Code Policy in the university.


So, dalawa lang naman daw yung implement:
1. "ipinagbabawal ang pagsusuot ng mga damit kung saan makikita ang mga dibdib para sa mga kababaihan" (Plunging neckline)
(*edi pwede sa lalake.. jokes.. ahahahaha..)
2. "ipinagbabawal ang pagsuot ng tsinelas"

 

They(OVP-Acads) are now currently gathering comments through their multiply account..
here is the link..

According to Aimee Chua, SC-Vice President for Academics, there should really be guidelines regarding the Dress Code to maintain the standards of the school and the DLSU officials believe that the image of the univeristy itself is affected if the students dont dress appropriately.

According to the article, the policy will be probably be decided by the Student Handbook Revision Committee by the start of the third term.

 

Ive also found something interesting...
According to Section 4 of the Student Handbook "Social Norms"
(page b17 of the current handbook 06-09)

"Upon admission to the University, a student is regarded as a mature individual with all the rights and responsibilities of a citizen to foster an environment that is conducive for academic, social, and moral development All these contribute to the goal of achieving a Lasallian education and upholding the Lasallian values for the common good within and outside the University. With this, certain forms of conduct and demeanor should be observed as follows:"


And according to the Student Handbook Section 4.2... 

"The University recognizes the right of students to come to school dressed according to their individual taste. However, they are encouraged to use attires that consider the sensibility of other members of the academic community. Dressing appropriately is a virtue which the University would like to cultivate among students, thus the University reserves the right to call the attention of students who dress inappropriately"

ok, here is my comment regarding this...
i think we should really have a guidelines regarding the dress code, because there are really some people who dont really dress appropriately nowadays.. at dahil walang guidelines, generally kahit ano gusto natin pwede natin suotin..

kaso ang major issue is dito is yung banning of wearing of slippers..
like what the article has said..
ok lang siguro yung pagbawal sa plunging neckline, pero yung sa slippers, i think they should study it really carefully..
as you can see, halos lahat ng tao sa lasalle nakaslippers.. nakaHavianas.. kundi havianas.. Crocs.. SOSYAL.. (*nyek, ang layo ng SOSYAL sa main topic)
anyway, hindi ko alam kung sa atin lang ba yung pwede magslippers. pero people will think its unfair if it is implemented sa atin while other schools are still allowed to wear slippers.

pero another problem is..
people have different perspective what really "appropriateness" is..
kung para sa admin dapat ganito yung kailangan suotin,
pero sa students ganito ok lang naman..
it will definitely result to a conflict..

pero syempre every student knows and is responsible what to wear on a specific occasion..
syempre if going to outside companies dapat nakaformal..
pag reporting ganun din, and so and so forth..
they are "mature individuals" so i think they SHOULD know what to wear...


so kayu, ARE YOU FOR OR AGAINST THE POLICY?!

 

paanswer din nitong survey...

  1. di ako sumagot ng survey/poll haha pero ito lang pinansin ko dun sa buong post dahil wala akong magawa

    "Once we graduate, we need to know how to dress properly, especially in the workplace. The administration believes that college should be preparation for the real world."

    this is stupid. you dont have to make people wear a certain type of clothing everyday to teach them how to dress properly. im sure everyone knows he/she shouldnt wear shortshorts inside a corporate office.

  3. haha. there are definitely a lot of sub-issues the are linked to this one. First, the concept of "mutual benefit" na why would you care how other people look at you. Of course, "you should", cause you know you will benefit from them if they like you. The way I look at it, the university is into this one 'cause many students simply want to go to conservative corporations where their "proper" attire really do matter. In some ways, it can increase future student enrollments and later on, the frequency of hiring as well.

    On another perspective, some people do put priority to freedom, practicality, and appropriateness over how people perceive them. Such cases include wearing slippers (because some people really do find wearing shoes uncomfortable especially if those shoes aren't well designed for specific uses), using your existing clothes, or just your taste.

    I mentioned "taste", which brings us into a more sensitive topic. Where should we put the borderline between creative and abusive attires; 'cause definitely, there will be clothes that may be considered by other people "arousing", insulting, or simply not good to look at? However, with all due reasons, the person who wears such clothing may not be aware of such effects OR that the two other reasons I mentioned above could have been why one dresses as such.

    Just giving you things to consider. I actually haven't publicly posted my side on this yet.

  4. okay, here's what i've got to say about this:

    1. I have no issues with the no-plunging-neckline rule. I think it is just to implement that specific rule.

    2. No Slippers policy? NO WAY MAN. NO. WAY. You don't really see me wearing slippers that much, but how about the other people?

    And slippers, in La Salle, are like the symbol of freedom to all students, man.


    Well, that's all. n___________n

  5. coming from the guy who has NEVER worn slippers inside DLSU i do think that they should just allow us to wear whatever we want. Slippers do serve, it's more comfortable etc. and besides if you're stupid enough to go to a job interview wearing slippers then its your problem.

    kung para sa admin dapat ganito yung kailangan suotin,
