So, after posting this, Mike drops me an email asking if I've got his back... I, of course, ask if he is insinuating that my blond highlights are not completely au naturelle.?? Alas, he merely fears??a backlash from the female constituency (not unusual in a campaign year). While I agree with him that hair color rights are a must in the workplace (not that I need them, mind you), I'm not sure I would take it much farther. I happen to like, for example, things like dress codes. And I'm reminded of the dress code section of the Fordham personnel manual (yes, I actually read it after being hired recently). It states, "Business casual attire is required. Managers reserve the right to require business attire for special situations (board meetings, important visitors, for example)." Hmmm... I'm not so sure that the Bowling Green administrators and workplace administrators are all that different, and that's a good thing. I, for one, (a former high school teacher who chaperoned many a school dance) have had my fill of prom-dress bikinis.?? Back to work....
Update: This post was originally and erroneously attributed to Liam Julian, who does not have blond highlights.
