You can tell who is the owner of Oxford University in England from the clothes. According to Oxford's regulations, students wear a loose black vest over their white shirts when attending important ceremonies and exams. Students who have won scholarships or achieved excellent results in the first year of the exam wear long-sleeved vests, which are called "bachelor's clothes", while ordinary students wear sleeveless vests. This traditional way of dressing is now challenged by the student union, accused of representing the hierarchy and bringing pressure to ordinary students.
According to the British "Times" website reported on the 26th, the Oxford University Student Union passed a motion to cancel the dress difference during the examination. The student newspaper Chaver published an article saying that "bachelor's uniform" made many students, especially girls and ethnic minority students, feel "nervous" and inferior in their studies, which violated the concept of group and equality advocated by Oxford University.
A student who supported the student union's motion complained: "The pressure of the exam is enough, and I have to remind me that no one else did well in the last exam."
A girl said: "I walked into the examination room and saw that all the people wearing scholar clothes were boys." As a girl, I feel discriminated against, not to mention that I am a girl of color. Sitting in the examination room, I had to be aroused all the sense of rejection. This is the most frustrating thing before the exam. "
Those who oppose the abolition of dress differences believe that Oxford University, as an academic institution, should show outstanding students. Anna Lukina, a sophomore majoring in law, said that doing so would belittle her achievements and make others attribute her achievements to luck and special treatment instead of hard work.
The student union will officially announce its position on students' dress before 10. A school spokesman said that students' opinions would be taken into account when formulating the dress code.
