Moi University has introduced new dress code guidelines to ensure that its students uphold the Code of Conduct.
The guidelines were communicated in an internal memo issued by the Dean of Students Dr. Alice Mutai on Tuesday, February 6. The memo lists several clothing items that are now considered inappropriate on campus. These include mini skirts, tight trousers, ripped jeans, short blouses or t-shirts that expose the midriff, and low-cut blouses or dresses. In addition, micro shorts, see-through dresses, clothing that reveals bra straps or sleeveless t-shirts, and garments with offensive writing are also prohibited.
Additionally, sagging trousers, clothing that reveals the chest, slippers, crocs, and any non-official plastic shoes are now included in the list of banned attire. Dr Mutai states that this decision was made due to concerns about the indecent style of dressing among students. Dr Mutai refers to Article 3.1.1 a, c, d, and e of the Rules and Regulations Governing the Conduct & Discipline of Students to emphasize the expectation for students to dress modestly and appropriately. She also warns that strict disciplinary action would be taken against students who violate the dress code. Also, university staff have been instructed not to serve students who fail to adhere to the guidelines.
University of Eldoret (UoE) and Kenya Methodist University (KeMU) have implemented dress code regulations for their students, aligning with similar measures taken by other institutions. In January 2023, UoE enforced a dress code policy after the passing of LGBTQ activist Edwin Chiloba, an alumnus of the university. KeMU also issued a memo outlining regulations that prohibit certain hairstyles, earrings, and revealing clothing. These actions demonstrate the universities’ dedication to maintaining decorum and upholding standards of decency among their students.

I fully support the idea of not wearing sexually suggestive attire or T-shirts with divisive political or religious messages or even sexual orientation but torn jeans? What harm is done to society when someone wears jeans with gaping holes around the knees?

No harm, much like our ancestors walked pretty much naked,and I chance to say that men were not ogling all the time, or raping women because they were “exposed”. What’s going on with today’s men with their minds in the gutter..?. They should take a lesson from the Amazon tribe that is not bothered by women parading around naked. It’s all amatter of training one’s mind.You can get used to seeing women naked,just like the Amazon tribes do,and not have it bother you.They are more important things in life to deal with.

This policy will be gone soon. Wait until the student population goes down hence they will lose money. They will be begging these students to come as they are ?.
