Florida State's student government passed a resolution last month requesting that Native American headdresses from be banned from school sporting events, but the resolution is only an expression of the group's stance on the issue and not the new official policy at university sporting events. 

"The resolution is a very thoughtful and reasonable request from the Student Senate. We appreciate the motivation behind it, as well as the tone," Florida State assistant vice president Browning Brooks said in a statement to CBS Sports on Tuesday. "The administration will give this careful thought and consider some ideas to promote additional cultural sensitivity by our students and fans."

According to FSUNews.com, Resolution 15 passed by the student government on April 20 insists "the wearing of any Native American headdresses shall no longer be permitted into athletic arenas at FSU." The measure passed with an overwhelming vote of 27-4 (five abstentions). 

The resolution states that its purpose is to continue "cultivating and maintaining a strong relationship" with the Seminole Tribe of Florida amid the tribe expressing "its distaste for this appropriation of culture." The report also points out that the headdresses adorned by most fans are "closer to those worn by the Plains region tribes, such as the Sioux, rather than those of the Seminole Tribe." 

The resolution sparked controversy when it was initially reported by FSUNews.com that the result would be a ban on headdresses at Doak Campbell Stadium and other athletic venues.

Florida State confirmed that it has no plans to change its stadium policy regarding headgear anytime soon.

The initial version of this story, citing the FSUNews.com report, stated that the resolution would result in a ban on headdresses for students with a conduct code violation being the penalty.
