ISLAMABAD, OCT 18 (DNA) –The International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) has asked its female students to strictly adhere to a traditional dress code, warning that anyone found violating the code would face strict disciplinary action.

The circular was issued last week by the Faculty of Management Sciences on the female campus of IIUI which offers BBA, MBA, MS and PhD degree programmes.

The university maintains strict segregation between the male and female campuses which run parallel and has previously asked students living at its hostel not to share beds and ‘maintain distance’.

The fresh notification about the dress code was signed by Assistant Professor Dr Fauzia Syed, in-charge of the varsity’s Discipline Committee.

In the notice, she tells students that it is “mandatory for all FMS (female) students to adhere the dress code: Shalwar Qameez with at least knee-length shirt, dress should not be see-through, deep necks strictly prohibited, sleeveless shirts are not allowed, trousers are allowed only with long shirts, skinny jeans, tights  and capris are not allowed, dupatta or scarf is compulsory with all dresses, make-up and heavy jewellery are not allowed, and high heels are also not allowed.”

In case of non-compliance strict disciplinary action would be taken, she warns.
