The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Professor Abednego F. O. Amartey, disclosed this while speaking at the university’s 2021 matriculation in Accra last Friday, reports say.
According to him, the University’s authorities had warned students that wearing skimpy and short dresses on campus violates the University rules, but the caution seems to have fallen on deaf ears.
“I have noticed that some of you have started wearing short skirts all over the place. The UPSA is a professional institution and we dress very well. We have directed lecturers that if you dress in an inappropriate manner, they should remove you from the lecture halls.
The University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) has directed that students who wear indecent dresses on campus must not be allowed to attend lectures.
The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Professor Abednego F. O. Amartey, who issued the directive, mentioned the dresses which would not be tolerated on campus to include short skirts, torn jeans and other such apparel that exposed vital parts of the body.
At the university’s 2021 matriculation in Accra last Friday, Prof. Amartey said the directive followed an observation that some of the students admitted in the 2020/2021 academic year wore very inappropriate dresses on campus, against the professional ethics of the university.

The Management of the University for Professional Studies (UPSA) says it will blend online and face-to-face teaching and learning for the 2020-2021 academic year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It said for the first six weeks, there will be in-person or face to face teaching with double contact hours per week and that this would be followed by another six weeks of on-line or virtual teaching.
“There will, of course, be one week of revision. Thus, the 13th week would be devoted to revision.
“The end of semester examinations will largely be held in-person with examinations for some few courses taken on-line or as take-home assignments,” the Vice Chancellor of the UPSA, Professor Abednego F. Okoe Amartey, said at the School of Graduate Studies Matriculation Ceremony recently.
