In a move aimed at promoting a respectful academic environment, the Government College University (GCU) Lahore has introduced a new dress code policy, effective immediately. The policy, announced through a notification issued by the university administration, prohibits students from wearing T-shirts and jeans on campus.
According to the notification, the decision is part of a broader initiative to uphold the institution’s values and maintain a disciplined and decorous atmosphere. The administration emphasizes the importance of modest attire, suggesting that the choice of clothing reflects the university’s commitment to fostering a respectful environment.
The policy applies to all male and female students, who are expected to adhere to the new dress code at all times while on campus. The administration has clarified that the ban on T-shirts and jeans is not merely a suggestion but a mandatory requirement. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action, although specific penalties have not been detailed.
The introduction of the new dress code policy has sparked a mix of reactions among students and faculty. While some have welcomed the move, others have expressed concerns about the restriction on personal choice and freedom of expression.
Supporters of the policy argue that it will help maintain a professional and respectful atmosphere on campus, while critics see it as an unnecessary restriction. Some students have taken to social media to express their views, with some calling for a more relaxed approach to dress code.
The GCU Lahore administration has not provided further clarification on the policy, leaving students with questions about what constitutes acceptable attire. As the policy takes effect, students are advised to err on the side of caution and dress modestly to avoid disciplinary action.
