TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) - The Student Government Association at Florida State University has passed a resolution expressing disapproval of wearing headdresses at games.
According to Resolution 15, which was passed by the SGA on April 20, the student senate voted that wearing headdresses at any FSU games or university sanctioned events would constitute a violation in the Student Code of Conduct.
The resolution said that the headdresses typically worn by fans don't accurately represent the culture of the Seminole Tribe.
In 2005, the university received support from the Seminole Tribe, including being allowed to use their name, logos, and images. The Tribe has reportedly said they don't approve of the current headdresses worn at games.
The university noted that this is a SGA resolution, not a university policy. The university also added that a resolution is simply a, "formal expression of the opinion or will of the Senate."
