In my 8 years on this board I've never done this, but:  QFMFT!  Preach!! But I'm "old" so ...

Call me old school, but I think you should take your hat off.

I personally don't wear hats to school but I don't see how it's "disrespectful." The thing is, in high school there is usually a written dress code that doesn't allow you to wear a hat. But the majority of universities have no dress code at all so for you to be condemned for wearing a hat can not be enforced unless there is somewhere written saying in your school it isn't allowed

And to the person saying the professor may have experienced cheating with hats, what about beanies/winter caps? You can't tape anything to the brim of that and professors sometimes still want you to take that off..Also, if you're wearing a fitted on a day where there isn't an exam, then that argument is invalid.

Lastly, I completely agree with the idea that paying tuition should allow you the freedom to dress as you please (obviously to an extent). If you're at work you do what your boss tells you because THEY pay YOU..But when you're voluntarily showing up to class and paying to be there, wearing a hat shouldn't be such a big issue

The professors are allowed to dictate what's acceptable dress in classes.  In some business courses, it's business attire only.

I don't think it's disrespectful; however, proper hat etiquette indicates that hats should be removed upon entering room. It's just proper. Even in the old days, upon entering a house (or something) a person would offer to take your coat and top-hat.
