DURHAM (AP) ó Students and school leaders at North Carolina Central University will begin a program next semester designed to get students to ditch their do-rags and bag their baggy jeans.
The Herald-Sun of Durham reported Thursday that Student Government Association president Kent Williams Jr. said there is a problem on campus with students wearing pajamas, do-rags and hats in the classroom.
The program will be similar to one in place at Winston-Salem State University. Students there are given cards with photographs of their peers modeling various fashion “do’s” and don’ts.”
Williams says the cards for North Carolina Central students will also use student models and have similar explanations about what to wear and what not to wear on campus.
