Kenya Methodist University’s dean of students, Esther Mbaabu, has issued a list of what constitutes inappropriate attire at the university.
Mbaabu stated in a memo dated January 5, 2023, that all students must follow the University’s dress code.
“All students are required to dress appropriately during the study, at meal times in the dining hall, and at all university functions,” she explained.
Female students are expected to leave their tumbo cuts at home (tops that expose their belly and naval).
Bare backs (exposing their backs), miniskirts (any skirt above the knee line), and skirts with slits above the knee line are also prohibited.
Dresses and blouses with necklines that extend beyond 4 inches, body-tight trousers, and see-through clothing are also prohibited.
Male students who arrive at university with plaited hair and earrings will not be spared.
Male students with dreadlocks, untucked shirts, vests that expose bare chests, and hats/caps will be considered to have dressed inappropriately, according to Mbaabu.
