University Students Go Naked To Protest School’s New Dress Code

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.
