In the most recent move on Thursday, warning signs have been posted on the bulletin boards in all buildings of the new restriction for male students.
The signs read, "Students are to strictly abide by the Islamic dress code. Male students must not cut their hair according to western styles."
"Wearing tight T-shirts, shirts with short sleeves, and torn and cut blue jeans is prohibited," the warnings included.
Last time the mullahs' regime imposed a similar dress code restrictions on male students was in April 2007, when some huge bulletin boards were erected at 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."
Protesting students numbering around 2,500, male and female, gathered on the campus's main entrance and did not attend regular classes in protest. The students shouted slogans such as: "Sadeqi, Sadeqi [referring to Mohammad Sadeqi the University President] must resign," "Incompetent School President must resign now."
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.
