Abstract

Students are generally identified about their level of education and affiliation from their uniform
or formal dress since ages. Dress code for college students has always been a controversial issue
among the various stakeholders. On one side Institutions want to have dress code policies for
maintaining a healthy learning environment and on the other side face opposition from the
students and their parents, who consider it as a meaningless restriction on them. This
e x p l o r a t o r y s t u d y a n d l i t e r a t u r e r e v i e w will examine the perceived
benefits and disadvantages of having uniforms for college students with special reference to
students pursuing their studies in business management. An exploratory study was conducted to
have an in-depth knowledge about the topic. Five institutions i n a major ci t y were selected as
samples through non-probability sampling design. The five institutions represented a National
Institution, an autonomous institution and three other private colleges which are known for their
reputation. Both students & teachers were selected using non- probability purposive sampling
technique. The study is both quantitative as well as qualitative. The arguments used in the design
include both deductive and inductive reasoning .The main research findings show that
majority of the students believe that uniform incorporates discipline among them, it brings
down the chances of discrimination among students belonging to different economic strata in
society and above all, and it will develop their personality to suit the corporate world. There was
also a strong feeling among the students that wearing the same uniform for a long time is very
boring.

Introduction

Debates about the use of school uniforms in public schools have received much attention in the
last few years. Many educational stakeholders believe that uniforms may curb negative behaviors
associated with student dress such as teasing, absenteeism, tardiness, gang-related activity, and
violence. One primary argument espoused by opponents is that uniforms interfere with students'
right to freedom of expression. Various state governments and educational institutions are
introducing sensitive rules regarding implementation of dress code, which give rise to vehement
criticisms from the student side.

Nothing should be forcibly implemented on anyone without any strong reason. College students
are quiet mature enough to understand the gravity of the issue , so it was very important to find
out their perception about various issues regarding dress code so as to understand its significance
from students‟ perspective.

In the light of the emerging debate on the significance of having a uniform dress code for
college students, a research study was envisaged on the topic - „A Study on Dress Code for
College Students‟. This study would focus on how the concept of dress code came into practice,
the perception of students and teachers regarding the uniform dress code and to find out the
benefits to students and institutions from having a uniform dress policy.

Research Questions

The study envisages the following research questions for investigations:

RQ1. What i s t h e r a t i o n a l e behind having a dress code for college students?

RQ2. What do the college students and their teachers think about having a uniform dress code?

RQ3. What are advantages for students from introduction of a dress code?

RQ4. What are advantages to the institutions from the introduction of uniform dress code to its
students?

Literature Review

The introduction of a dress code for the university students has been a highly debated issue
among the administrators, parents, students and society at large. Many of the arguments justify
the introduction of dress code. We have a few citations from credible secondary y data sources
which highlight the need for introduction of a dress code.

A debate on Dress Code for the university students read thus: “The public school campuses of
our nation are experiencing an unprecedented crisis of violence and a shocking decline in
academic achievement. Gang related violence and crime in the public schools continues to grow
and challenge school administrators and students. Student attendance and dropout rates are
alarming, as are the presence of drugs, weapons, and violence in many schools.

As a reaction to this threat of violence, many school boards are currently enforcing mandatory
dress codes. These codes prohibit students from wearing clothing that is identifiable as gang
clothing, such as bandanas, particular colored handkerchiefs, college jackets, earrings, and
accessories. Some states have even passed laws that allow the public school districts to mandate
school uniforms” (Wilson, 1998).

The Principals of educational institutions reported that their schools had formal dress-code
policies that usually prohibited halters, low-cut tops, tank tops, low-riding pants, wallet chains,
sunglasses, headgear, and exposed undergarments. Codes also often prohibited clothing with
advertisements or depictions of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco products, or displays of offensive
messages. Some codes contain requirements that hair is clean and well-groomed, and that
clothes be clean, neat, and properly fastened (DeMitchell et.al, 2000).

Eric Digest on student public dress policy had an article which read thus: “In recent years,
schools across the country have experienced violence, gang activity, and thefts of clothing and
accessories. Many school boards, mindful of their responsibility to provide safe school
environment for students, have implemented policies specifying dress codes or the wearing of
uniforms” (Isaacson, Lynne, 1998).

Educators and the public are divided over the value of implementing school-uniform policies in
the public schools.
The viewpoints favoring the motion are: The chief benefits of school uniforms say proponents, is
that they make schools safer. Uniforms are said to reduce gang influence, minimize violence by
reducing some sources of conflict, and help to identify trespassers. Parents benefit because they
are no longer pressured to buy the latest fashions, and they spend less on their children's clothing.

The contrary views are: Opponents contend that school-uniform policies infringe upon students '
First Amendment rights to freedom of expression; interfere with students' natural tendency to
experiment with their identities; are tools of administrative power and social control; offer
piecemeal approach to issues of racial and economic injustice; and may discriminate against
students from minority backgrounds (Caruso 1996, Cohn and Siegal 1996).

Claims are made on the positive impact of Dress code on variables like absenteeism, turnover,
behavior problems, academic achievement etc. But at times it felt that dress code has negligible
impact on these factors rather those pronouncements by uniform proponents have raised strident

objections and created a political climate in which public school uniform policies have become
highly contested(David, 1998).

Women students have had embarrassing encounters with the security guards at the college gates
on account of so called immodest ways of dressing. If you are a college student in India's Silicon
City, be prepared for security guards to stare you down if you aren't "properly" dressed. In fact,
they can refuse entry to students if they aren't 'decently" attired. Worse, if your tank top doesn't
measure up to the outsourced guard's sense of morality, you will be fined. In Bangalore, college
guards enforce dress code (Balakrishna, 2010).

Mandatory uniform policies have been the focus of recent discourse on public school reform.
Proponents of such reform measures emphasize the benefits of student uniforms on specific
behavioral and academic outcomes. Tenth grade data from The National Educational
Longitudinal Study of 1988 was used to test empirically the claims made by uniform advocates.
The findings indicate that student uniforms have no direct effect on substance use, behavioral
problems, or attendance. Contrary to current discourse, the authors found a negative effect of
uniforms on student academic achievement. Uniform policies may indirectly affect school
environments and student outcomes by providing a visible and public symbol of commitment to
school improvement and reform (Brunsma, D. L., & Rockquemore, K. 1998).

Table- 1 gives the summary of important authors and their research findings, which is used for this
study.

Research Gap:

Most of the research done so far was about uniform for primary, middle-school and high school
students; very few studies have been carried out on dress code for college students and especially
on uniform dress code for business management students. An attempt has been made for finding
out the perceptions of dress code among students, parents and administration.
Identification of both independent and dependent Variables was done after the literature review and
the same is indicated in the Table -2.

Research Methodology

The problem selected in this study had not been studied in-depth earlier in the context of
college students. Therefore the study relied mostly on primary data. Design of research tools
used secondary data sources. The approach commenced with exploratory and later adopted
descriptive thus making it a mixed approach.

The topic of the study is mostly subjective based on individual perceptions of the problem,
and hence, survey method and interviews were used to collect data. The above techniques
gave new raw data on the perceptions of both students and teachers. The research design was
triangulation of both qualitative and quantitative type.
Due to certain resources and time constraints, non-probability purposive sampling was
adopted for selecting the student and teacher samples.
Five institutions i n a major ci t y were selected through non-probability sampling design. The
five institutions represented a National Institution, an autonomous institution and three other
private colleges which have a high reputation.

The sample size was 214 selected from a sampling frame of 1084.
The assumptions made:
Confidence level= 95%
Significance level= 5%
Confidence interval= 6

Sample Size: Z*Z*P*(1-P)/C*C

Z = Z value (e.g. 1.96 for 95% confidence level)
P = percentage picking a choice, expressed as decimal (0.5 used for sample size needed)
C = confidence interval, expressed as decimal (e.g. 0.04 = ±4)
Correction for finite population:
New Sample Size = SS/ 1+ ((SS-1)/population)

8. Demerits of wearing uniform:

As per the trend observed variables such as:

 Suppression of individual freedom of expression.
 Restriction of freedom to experiment on oneself in order to build one‟s self identity.

The grievances of the college students are that wearing the same uniform for a long time is boring,
so this is the key point which should be kept in mind while enforcing the wearing of uniform.

Majority of the students think that there is no demerit in having a uniform for college
students.

 The main finding of the study includes:
 Majority of the students like wearing uniform
 They believe that wearing uniform makes they disciplined and create a sense of belongingness to
their college.
 Majority were of the opinion that uniform resulted in cost savings on clothes.
 Some said the cost of uniform was high and since it was rarely used it was wastage of money.
 Uniform was believed to be more important for management students than other PG students.
Students feel that wearing uniform will make them look professional and also induce them to
behave in a disciplined manner.
 Majority of the teachers think that having a uniform dress code creates a professional ambience
in college and inculcates discipline among students.
 Students expressed the fear of being discriminated on the basis of their clothing. There was a
mixed response regarding the same from the teachers.
 Majority of teachers and students opined that wearing uniform has no demerits.
 Hypothesis testing showed that there is no significant relationship between gender and their liking
for wearing uniform & female students believe that uniform inculcates discipline among students
more than the male students.

Limitations of the Study:

 Students surveyed were management students since most have a dress code.

 Due to lack of time and resources, samples were taken from the reputed management
colleges within the city.

 All the stakeholders namely, parents, governing bodies and local community were not
considered to know their take on the subject.

Conclusion

The review of literature shows that institutions were facing serious dilemma of whether to
impose dress code on students. Students wear jackets or some other clothing to signify their
affiliations to particular social groups. Hand-bands and particular colored handkerchief are used
to signify some objectionable messages. To overcome these problems, educational institutions are
implementing dress code policies to maintain a safe and healthy learning environment. Some of
the research findings also show that having a uniform dress code doesn‟t have any bearing on the
academic performance of students. It may also restrict students‟ right of expression and the
ability to experiment on oneself to develop their own identities and creativity.

Study confirms that both students & teachers have a positive attitude towards uniform. Dress code
plays an important role in maintaining safe and healthy learning environment in the college. It
brings a sense of belongingness in the students. It adds to the reputation of the institution.
Having uniform dress code creates a social uniformity among students which helps in developing
team spirit in them. Therefore, this study recommends the introduction of uniform dress code for
college students.
