The Kenya Methodist University has urged its students to adopt a style of dressing and appearance in what it terms as would be acceptable in various fields of society and work in general.
Through the office of the dean of students, the school has asked its students to wear appropriate attire during study, at meal times in the school’s dining hall and in all university functions.
In the letter, Dr Esther Mbaabu, the dean of students, highlighted attires that would be considered inappropriate in the school premises.
