Petition for a Less Restricted Dress Code Policy for Johnson and Wales Varsity Athletes
The dress code policy for college athletes in the rink should allow for widely accepted, sport-specific athletic apparel designed for optimal performance, without restrictions that create performance limitations, unequal expectations, or discipline solely related to standard athletic clothing. A dress code should reflect the modern age we are in, where normalized clothing items that are seen across the NCAA are permitted to be worn. The concern of student-athletes at Johnson and Wales should be based on positively representing our school, promoting teamwork, and being the best athlete you can be, both on and off the field. As an athlete, you should not have to be worried about what you are wearing because of proposed unnecessary limitations on appropriate sportsware.

Completely agree. Let the athletes wear what they need to workout. This shouldn't even be a topic of conversation in 2018.
This is ridiculous. We are literally there to train and get better at our sport, not to be looked at by people who have nothing better to do than police what we wear to the gym.
WHO CARES if someone is wearing a sports bra? Its an athletic facility. If you cant handle it dont come in.
The focus should be on the scoreboard and our academics not our leggings and tops. Stop wasting our time with this nonsense.
This policy is unfair and unreasonable. Nobody should be restricted from APPROPRIATE athletics attire because some people can’t handle college students in sports bras. I suggest the people who are uncomfortable with it change, not me, a female athlete who swears a lot due to meds, not my teammates, nobody expect the people who thought it was okay to put this policy in place. This also feels extremely sexist, as I received word it was targeted towards women, and made due to older men uncomfortable with women’s sports attire. These clothes are not provocative in any way, they are meant for us as athletes to be comfortable during workouts and recovery. There’s absolutely nothing inappropriate about it and I’m disgusted with how administrators are handling this!!!
It’s college

This university has bigger problems than what our athletes choose to workout in. This proposal is inherently creepy, why would a coach look at their athletes in a way that would warrant them to dress in a way that may not be comfortable for them.
