The cultural shifts of the 1970s brought significant changes to student life at Southeastern. The university’s dress code, which had long required women to wear skirts and men to wear collared shirts, began to face backlash. Students protested against these rigid regulations, symbolizing a broader desire for personal freedom and expression. This period saw the loosening of dress codes, which now allowed women to wear pants or shorts, and the fading of strict campus rules, such as dormitory curfews. These changes contributed to a more relaxed and open campus environment, reflecting the growing influence of student voices on university policies.
