UPSA Students Sent Home for ‘Indecent Dressing’ Amid Strict Dress Code Enforcement

Several students of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), were sent home by a task force on Wednesday, July 2, for allegedly violating the institution’s dress code policy. The affected students were asked to leave their classrooms and return home or to their hostels to change into more “appropriate” clothing before being allowed back.

Students React to Incident

One student, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the incident, stating that a number of students were turned away on Wednesday morning and instructed to return only after changing into more suitable attire. The student expressed disappointment but acknowledged that the university has a strict dress code policy in place.

University’s Dress Code Policy

The UPSA student handbook outlines the university’s dress code policy, which emphasizes formal attire from Monday to Thursday. The policy aims to promote professionalism and discipline among students. The university’s renewed efforts to enforce the policy have sparked reactions on social media, with some netizens arguing that students should adhere to the rules.

No Official Statement from UPSA

At the time of filing this report, the UPSA administration had yet to speak on the development. The incident highlights the university’s commitment to upholding its code of conduct and promoting a professional environment on campus.

Conclusion

The enforcement of the dress code policy at UPSA has raised questions about student freedom and the role of institutions in regulating personal choices. As the university continues to promote discipline and professionalism, students are expected to adhere to the dress code policy to avoid similar incidents in the future.
