UPSA imposes restrictions on some student dress code

The University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) has put restrictions on the dress code of some students on campus.

The University has directed that students who wear indecent dresses on campus must not be allowed to attend lectures.

The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Professor Abednego Amartey, who issued the directive, mentioned that dresses such as short skirts, crazy jeans, or the type that reveals some vital parts of the body must not be worn on campus, especially to class.

This directive follows an observation made by the University’s management that some students that were admitted in the previous academic year wore “very inappropriate dresses” on campus, against the professional ethics of the university.

“I have noticed that some of you have started wearing short skirts all over the place. The UPSA is a professional institution and we dress very well. We have directed lecturers that if you dress in an inappropriate manner, they should remove you from the lecture halls.

“You are not allowed to dress the way we have seen you dress these days. We allowed it in the past week because we assumed you did not know. Now you know, so there should not be excuses,” he added.
