The Kenya Methodist University has banned the wearing of dreadlocks short skirts and those with exaggerated slits in a new dress code directive issued by the institution’s Dean of Students.
In a Memo shared by Dr Esther Mbaabu on January 5, the University said all students are required to comply with the University code of dressing and wear appropriate attire.
‘’All students are required to comply with the university code of dressing and wear appropriate attire during the study, at mealtime in the dining hall, and in the University functions,’’ Dr. Mbaabu’s memo reads.
The female students are prohibited from wearing turbo cuts, body-tight trousers, bare back tops, mini-skirts, skirts whose slits is above the knee line, and dresses/ blouses with neckline running down more than 4 inches.
Male students are prohibited from wearing earrings, untucked shirts, vests that show bare chests, and hats/caps in classes and offices.
Mbaabu also added that male students have been prohibited from plaiting their hair and having dreadlocks.
Failure to comply with the new rules will attract disciplinary action, the dean said.
