The administration has officially rescinded the sleeveless shirt policy at the recreation center. We will monitor the locker rooms this week to ensure the new guidelines are implemented without further staff interference.

Georgia State Univeristy policy prohibits sleeveless shirts at the Student Recreational Center gym. The administration claims this policy ensures the longevity of the equipment. It is the responsibility of the employees of the recreational center to maintain the supposed longevity of the equipment. This policy effectively censors the student population. This petition will urge Georgia State Administration to re-evaluate their stance on this oppressive policy.

I have requested a formal meeting with the Director of Recreational Services to present the architectural flaws in their argument regarding equipment wear. A legal advocate is currently reviewing university policy handbooks to identify potential inconsistencies in how this dress code is enforced across campus facilities.

The reach of this petition has captured the attention of local student media outlets. I am currently coordinating interviews to outline our formal objections to the athletic dress code. We are preparing to submit these initial findings to the university administration later this week.

Whoever made this rule has obviously never worked out before. That, or they're some scuffed lifters who don't use full range of motion. Must be doing some quarter reps with their full wool coat on.

FINALLY. This policy makes no sense and feels like they are just finding reasons to harass people.
