Jackson State University students are expected to behave and dress in a manner that represents the university in a positive way. For the 2008-2009 school term, JSU students are being asked to heed and obey a decorum policy that was first instituted last year.
The policy which focuses on dress, language and keeping the campus litter-free, encourages students to act in a professional manner while on campus or any university sponsored event.
The decorum policy states, "Conduct which is disorderly, lewd, indecent and or portrayed on the premises of the university or at university sponsored events will not be tolerated." However, there are conflicting ideas about whether the policy is being strictly enforced.

The fine in Jasper County for sagging calls for a maximum penalty of $500 and 30 days in jail. In other cities across the nation, including places such as Trenton, La., and Atlanta, Ga., there have been numerous proposed ordinances to ban the practice.
Savannah's city council joined the opposition this past August by considering a ban that could be stricter than others.
