Tuskegee University president explains dress code ban on durags and bonnets

Mark Brown, president of Tuskegee University, addressed criticism over the school's dress code that prohibits durags and bonnets.

Brown explained that the policy focuses on readying students for professional environments rather than promoting respectability politics.

He encouraged raising standards, believing that students will rise to meet higher expectations.

The dress code is part of efforts to help students adapt to workplace norms and expectations after graduation.
