A good personal appearance, of all University employees, is essential to creating and maintaining a favorable public image. Employees are expected to dress in a manner consistent with the nature of work performed and the people served. Employees who have questions concerning what constitutes proper attire should consult with their immediate supervisor. Employees are also expected to observe and maintain proper habits of personal grooming and hygiene at all times.

Name Badges

            Wearing of name badges or other forms of identification may be required of certain employees, e.g., those who meet the public or those who need to have access to restricted areas. Questions concerning the wearing of a name badge should be directed to the immediate supervisor with the determination resting with the appropriate vice president.

Uniforms

            Uniforms are defined as special garments worn for identification and/or to present a clean, sanitary, consistent appearance or, in some cases, for safety precautions. They may consist of shirts, pants, jackets, dresses, coats (long or short), aprons or head coverings of a prescribed color and tailoring.

            Wearing of uniforms may be required when: (a) it is accepted professional practice of a particular occupation; (b) identification is needed for the expeditious performance of one's function or to provide evidence of authority or privilege; (c) there is need for a controlled standard of cleanliness and sanitation of clothing; (d) the performance of job tasks causes abnormal wear or soiling of clothing.
