AI Thread Summary
A prominent university has introduced a strict dress code across 227 engineering colleges, prohibiting jeans, t-shirts, skirts, and sleeveless or tight-fitting outfits. The administration believes that such clothing distracts students from their academic responsibilities. This policy has sparked debate, particularly regarding the contradiction of allowing students to vote while restricting their choice of attire. The discussion highlights concerns about the implications of enforcing conservative dress standards in an academic environment.

Recently, a prominent university in my city, decided to implement a new dress code in 227 engineering colleges.

The dress code states that students should not wear jeans, t-shirts, skirts or sleeveless and tight-fitting outfits and enjoins them to dress conservatively. This is because the adminstration thinks certain outfits detract students from the seriousness of academic pursuits.

But the implementation of this dress code was taken to ridiculous extremes in this example

The irony of this is that, the students affected are deemed mature and responsible enought to be allowed to vote, but are not allowed to choose what dress to wear.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
