NCRI – Female students were threatened with disciplinary actions should they not comply with the imposed dress code at the registration in Shiraz University, southern Iran, on Saturday.
"Here is a university, you should be extremely careful with what you wear to school," said a woman faculty member in charge of registration in Shiraz University.
She added, "Try not to get into trouble with the school's security office by obeying the rules."
Not long ago, in a meeting between students and Dean of Student's Affairs and head of the university's disciplinary committee which was convened to investigate the problems female students were facing at the school he said, "Do not forget that I am the head of students' disciplinary committee too."
He threatened the students with action if they do not strictly abide by the dress code.
Harassment of university students has been a common practice by the mullahs' regime in Iran.
In April 2007, thousands of students at Shiraz University began their protest over mandatory dress codes set by the school administrators. They widely posted warnings on bulletin boards warning students to strictly obey the dress codes.
Some huge bulletin boards were erected at the school's male dormitories with a statement ordering male students not to wear "shorts and tank tops in the dormitory's halls or where they sleep."
The students also prepared an eleven point resolution which contained their demands and on the top of the list was their request for the university president to resign.
