If we think that it does not matter what we stand for. We did not reach the level of where African Americans are today by compromise. We are slipping back in time. Maybe we just need to go back to slavery until we are really ready to stand out above the rest. We had standards initially. Now what?eMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446718712059629197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428262663623493707.post-59664078310569695332009-12-14T00:30:27.215-05:002009-12-14T00:30:27.215-05:00I agree with you, however, some of these young men...I agree with you, however, some of these young men are walking around with their belts underneath their underwear. I for one do not want to see your #ss hanging out of your pants.

I truly believe that both health and image are vitally important aspects of any student's personal and professional development. I think there may be cause for alarm regarding the way the schools have chosen to handle their new more stringent codes, however, I am definitely not opposed to them.<br /><br />Students must realize that school is about preparation. There is a very real expectation for professional image in most work environments. Additionally, we have to ask ourselves, if schools are not taking responsibility of teaching best practices as they relate to professional image and health, how will our young Black men and women learn the importance of these things?MsBRG722https://www.blogger.com/profile/07922128201567577297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428262663623493707.post-55764348570022242732009-12-08T14:52:55.516-05:002009-12-08T14:52:55.516-05:00Prof tracy,

My father, who is now a adjunct professor at an HBCU experienced even worse. He was hired to work at the school but wasn't given a paycheck until weeks later after he met the president of the college. WHAT? Only in HBCU's can this type of backwater pigsfoot nonsense go on. Why do we tolerate it? We relish in the idea that we for once will be surrounded by like individuals for the purpose of being enriched academically and socially. The dress code sends the wrong message. Yes, dress up for major events that makes sense. But going through the doorman for class is a waste of limited resources. Granted AAs have to work harder than their counterparts but at the same time, lets work smarter not harder.DJ Dub aka The Ambassadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756191244742246738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428262663623493707.post-23995383447591111402009-11-30T00:58:14.658-05:002009-11-30T00:58:14.658-05:00I'm sad to hear this is even an issue...ugh!

I would be more impressed if the HBCU's took the time and made the effort to reach out into the community and help families deal with nutrition and healthy lifestyles. <br />By the time a person reaches college a lot of their eating habits and health concerns are already established. Of course, a person can always change how they do things. But to mandate that change is not the best way to handle this particular problem.msladyDeborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593695415626632490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428262663623493707.post-53285056414840738812009-11-26T11:32:49.583-05:002009-11-26T11:32:49.583-05:00Excellent points as always, Professor Tracey.
