public Embarrassment

91% of students dress coded were dress coded in front of peers.


Most students were definitely or somewhat uncomfortable

Of the 93 students who were dress coded, 82% said they were uncomfortable.

Reviewing the survey data, we found that a total 88 students said that they feel uncomfortable or sort of uncomfortable when being dress coded.

From Alexia's experience: "I can say being dress coded makes me feel uncomfortable depending on the gender of who is dress coding. Students should not have to feel uncomfortable. Students should be able to walk around the halls wearing clothing of their choice that is appropriate for them without the anxiety that they may be publicly shamed."
