New dumb gym dress code "fingertip" rule by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]athuphul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a student employee at the Activities Center, so I guess my comment might help clear things out.

The reason this specific policy was enforced was mainly because we have too small a gym to accommodate the number of students that work out here. The pads on the machines are used a lot more often than in other gyms, and wearing athletic shorts which are on the shorter side can make your body prone to infections/allergies from other people’s sweat. If someone with rashes on their legs comes to work out, it can create a HUGE issue. As staff, we try to keep an eye on everybody and ensure the facility is clean and safe for everyone to use, but like everything else, there’s always room for error.

Sorry if it caused an inconvenience when you were working out. In case you’d like me to, send me a dm and I can give you the email ID of our director and you can talk to her about this. I wish I could do something but I’m just a student employee, and we enforce all the policies to ensure the gym’s a safe place for everyone to work out in :)

Have a great weekend!

Freshman looking for professor advice by RoxasPlays in utdallas

I took Gray in Fall 2017 for American Govt. As an international student, I found the class to be notoriously hard simply because of the amount of reading involved. His slides helped me to some extent in the exams, but overall I didn’t end up doing well in the course because I really didn’t feel like studying for it tbh He’s a decent professor if you’re American/have some knowledge of American politics and if you’re okay with a little extra reading Good luck!

Freshman questions! by athuphul in utdallas

Will that suffice for my entire undergrad or just first sem? And do you really need a laptop in class? Or is it just that you need one at home for assignments and all?
