YEN.com.gh understands that Professor Abednego F. O. Amartey, the university's Vice-Chancellor, has consistently reinforced the importance of professionalism on campus.

According to him, students wearing revealing clothes such as short skirts, torn jeans, and attire that exposes vital body parts will not be allowed to attend lectures.

This policy is part of UPSA’s commitment to maintaining a professional atmosphere conducive to learning.

Lecturers have been instructed to strictly enforce the dress code by removing students who do not comply with these standards.

In another segment of the trending video, a male student attempted to avoid punishment by wearing his female colleague’s shoe after his own footwear was deemed inappropriate. He did this in an attempt to blend in and avoid being sent home by the task force.
