RE: [MTC Global] [Weekend Big Debate] Dress Code ! How does it help in performance?

I would like to know why in first place muster and bio-metrics was introduced ? There must have been some background that triggered the thinking of introducing bio-metrics for teachers?

I find some points here:

Dress code is a part of professional ethics as followed by doctors, nurses, teachers, leaders, etc. for several reasons like hygienic, neatness, uniformity, sense of brand or belonging, etc.
Dress code is profession dependent. Gandhiji, Lal Bahadur, Nehru, Sushma Swaraj, Sonia Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda and many more follow certain dress code as per their goals and for certain accomplishments.
(A Ideal) Teacher does not need to observe all these customs because of two reasons: (1) S/he self-controlled, a role model for others, a path setter and self-perfect-made. I personally think teacher does not need any muster or bio-metrics, no other administrative formalities because s/he is such a law maker that s/he it (law) first practices, shows others how to function. This is real autonomy. Autonomy means many constraints and restrictions imposed by oneself, it is something like sacrificing personal comforts, renunciation. If it is the case, all issues melt away automatically.
Dress code may help for a new entrant to acclimatize with the work culture of an organization.

I don';t understand reason behind this discussion. If a faculty knows how to dress which is usually developed over a period of time during his/ her education process, exposure etc there is no point implementing dress code.
Basic professionalism includes all these if anybody lacks this he needs counseling and mentoring .

Use of biometric is another useless concept in institutes. Basic professionalism includes responsibility towards job. Further this is not a factory were unless a worker is absent from Hus point in assembly line production system is hampered. If I have my lecture at 11 am and college starts at 10 am what';s wrong if because of certain contingencies I arrive 39 min late. There are many instances were a faculty works out of time too. One needs to understand intention.
Are we so immatured that we need these kind of administration tools. If so forget about students.
Further I don';t believe making fancy professional environment will enhance professionalsm. Yes ido agree basic professional etiquette must b maintained by everyone but not like this.

We at sharda group of institutions don';t have any such diktats but no body dress so poorely that will be embarrassing. We are thinking to lift dress code for post graduate students too on daily basis.

Uniform dress code gives a sense of discipline, unity, sense of belonging and better presentation. Premier institutions do not have any dress code. In IT, casual dress code even for interview is fine. Many have a culture of formal and casual dress code.

In many factories workers have different dress code and managers have different. Hospitals also follow the same. In colleges , support staffs are forced to wear dress code but faculty do not have any.

What is big about dress code? Do you thing faculty should also have dress code?
