Can I Teach in a kilt?

[Dan R Porter]

I am a continuing Education instructor here at a local college. I was thinking this would be a neat year to do it kilted! I usually get senior citizens and middle aged women in my classes as far as demographics go. Here is the colleges dress code. Think I could pull it off?

511.0 Dress Code and Personal Appearance

P – 511.0 Employees are expected to be suitably attired and groomed during working hours or when representing the College. Business Casual dress is the accepted standard office attire for College employees.


Pr – 511.0.1 Any deviation from Business Casual attire is subject to departmental approval.
Pr – 511.0.2 If a supervisor deems that an employee’s dress or grooming is not in compliance with this policy, the employee will be sent home on unpaid time, and will be required to return to work properly dressed and groomed. Employees who violate dress code standards are subject to disciplinary action under the P-593.0 Discipline Policy.
D - 511.0.1 Business casual is crisp, neat, and not too tight or baggy. Business Casual is classic rather than trendy. Business Casual is more formal than weekend wear. Appearance should make a positive, professional impression whether meeting with students, coworkers, the general public, management, or community leaders.

I don't think you can get any more classic than a kilt!

I'd defer to this part of the code, and seek approval first.

[Dan R Porter]

I will definetly get approval, just wondering if I even had a shot...

Yeah, get approval first.

Dan, you have a lot of colleagues on this site. A number of photos have been posted of them kilted. You might download or print them to show educators at work while kilted, and how professional it is to be dressed this way.

Hi Dan, glad to meet you.
You go for it boy, if your classes get over crowded, then you have the kilt to blame.

[Dan R Porter]

Thats the problem. We are having low enrollmebnt in continuing Education. I was hoping the kilt would help!

It would be a bit funny if little old ladies start to fail your class just so they can retake you over and over.

Hi Dan, yes it would be a good laugh for the old ones.
It would be fun to teach in a kilt, all my teachers did.
