A Ghanaian public University, the University of Professional
Studies, Accra (UPSA) has issued stern directives to female students against
“showing skins” by wearing dresses on campus that the Vice Chancellor says goes
against the University rules.
He has therefore cautioned
female students who wear indecent outfits, especially when attending lecturers
to desist from it. He ordered lecturers of the University to throw out female
students who come to class indecently dressed.
The Vice-Chancellor of the
university, Professor Abednego F. O. Amartey said he had earlier warned the
students and they appeared to be complying but have suddenly started wearing it
again.
“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 warned.
The VC said “short skirts, torn
jeans and other such apparel” that exposed vital parts of the body will not be
tolerated.
He was speaking at the
university’s 2021 matriculation in Accra last Friday of 8,247 students admitted
to pursue professional, diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate courses
comprised of 70 professionals, 1,623 diploma, 5,671 undergraduate and 883
postgraduate students.
He warned the fresh students to be careful of how they
dressed as they risked sanctions.
