Students of the University of Kaposvar have gone on
an underwear protest after the head of the school had
announce a new, strict dress code.
In a letter to students on Wednesday, the rector of
University in southwest Hungary wrote that a
conservative dress code – dark suits and shoes for
men; jacket, blouse and trousers or long skirts for
women – must be adhered to when attending classes
or exams.
“From October 1, there is also no place in the
university for mini-skirts, flip-flops, heavy make-up,
inappropriate fashion accessories, or unkempt
fingernails and hair,” the letter continued.
The rector did make an allowance for lighter clothing
during warm summer days, prompting some students
to make the underwear protest.
“We were appropriately dressed but the class room
was so warm we removed some clothing as is
permitted,” said one student.
The protestors included male and female students.
