Babcock University has announced a new dress code policy for its students, emphasizing stricter grooming standards on campus. According to the institution, the updated regulations specifically prohibit dreadlocks and beards, as part of efforts to maintain discipline and uphold the school’s values.
The university management explained that the policy is aimed at promoting decency, uniformity, and a professional outlook among students. While the announcement has sparked mixed reactions, supporters argue that the rules reinforce Babcock’s identity as a faith-based institution, while critics see it as restrictive to personal expression.
The new guidelines are expected to take immediate effect, with students required to comply as the academic session progresses.
