A college student who was dress coded at the gym for her crop top was allegedly told the policy exists as \u201ca happy medium where girls can still work out with men.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Kylee Graham, a student at the University of Prince Edward Island described the Oct. 9 dress code violation in a Facebook post that has garnered over 1,000 reactions and 800 shares, posting a photo of her gym ensemble: black pants with a black top that revealed a sliver of her abdomen.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday I wore a cropped workout shirt to the gym, like I do all the time as do many other women,\u201d the 22-year-old veterinary student began. <\/span><\/p>\n

So today I went to the gym, just like I do about 4 or 5 times a week. Today I wore a cropped workout shirt to the gym,\u2026<\/p>\n

According to Graham, a staffer stopped her when she arrived at the gym and said her outfit was inappropriate, even pulling out a binder to illustrate the policy, which allegedly bans sports bras and open-back or low-cut shirts. Graham responded that her shirt didn\u2019t meet the criteria of the banned items and was told, <\/span>\u201cOK, you\u2019re fine for today but in the future even wearing a see-through shirt over [the] top would suffice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI must have been staring at her like she was crazy because she replied with, \u2018If a man came in here and was wearing a shirt cut so low on the sides you could see his nipples I would tell him the same thing,\u2019\u201d wrote Graham.<\/p>\n

While leaving the gym after her workout, the staffer told Graham, \u201cMy co-workers and I discussed what you were wearing and decided it was OK.\u201d  The woman also stated that Graham\u2019s \u201csports bra\u201d revealed her abs and cleavage, saying,<\/span> \u201c\u2026We are trying to find a happy medium where girls can still work out with men\u201d and \u201cso that [girls] aren\u2019t too much, and distracting.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Neither Graham nor a representative from the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) have returned Yahoo Lifestyle\u2019s request for comment. According to the UPEI Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre handbook, \u201cTops\/shirts should cover the ribcage.\u201d The UPEI student-led publication the Cadre reported that the athletics department has been trying to reach Graham to apologize.<\/p>\n
