When I interviewed there last fall, the DO who interviewed me ( I think he was dean of students or something similar ) was not very forgiving at all about the attendance policy or the dress code. He gave no indication that either would change anytime. In fact, he said that students come up to him all the time bitching about the dress code and he basically tells them to beat it, that they knew about it when they signed on so they had better just get used to it. Not like he was ugly to them or anything, just that the policy wasn't going to change.
