The Ghana Institute of Journalism has placed a ban on the wearing of ‘shorts’ and ‘mini skirts’ by students to campus to attend lectures.
And by ‘students’, of course, they mean ladies.
Rector of the Institute, Wilberforce Sefakor Dzisah, made the announcement during the matriculation ceremony for new students at the Institute for the 2016/2017 academic year.
According to Dr Dzisah, the ban follows a spate of concerns raised by management over indecent dressing amongst the students.
“Management has raised concerns about an increase in indecent dressing by students.” he said.
“Management has therefore decided on the following and this should not only go to fresh men and women but for the continuing students as well. No shorts or miniskirts are to be worn for lectures. Clothes which expose your vital parts shall not be entertained.
“Management will apply sanctions with regards to any violations of these directives,” he added.
Dr Dzissah said school (lecturing) was hard enough without the distractions of women gyrating about in short skirts.
“Life at the university can be intellectually and socially engaging and exciting. However, one can easily lose focus and strain into fruitless and unproductive ventures. Your primary aim here is to strive to successfully complete your prescribed academic programme,”
Whenever an institution or a body starts implementing rules that would not be out of place in Saudi Arabia, they should probably realise that they have gone off track. Such a communication university should be a bastion of liberalism but apparently it’s not.
