A university in Mozambique’s northern Nampula province has banned workers, students and teachers from coming to the campus “improperly dressed.”

In a notice stuck on walls at Unizambeze university, administrators prohibit women from wearing:

Tight-fitting dresses

Miniskirts

Sleeveless tops

Cleavage-showing tops

See-through cloths

Slippers

Body tights

Ripped jeans and

Blouses showing bras.

It also bans men from wearing:

Vests

Shorts

Ripped jeans

Low-waist trousers and

Slippers and

Plaiting their hair.

Reaction to the ban has been mixed, but most people I spoke to said it was “appropriate for the African culture” and an “important rule to ensure decency in a learning institution.”

* The notice does not refer to dreadlocks, as we earlier reported.
