In other news, the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) has directed its lecturers to sack from their lecture halls all students who dress improperly and expose vital parts of their bodies.

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.
