Oh the Christian irony
Liberty University is now granting its students new sartorial freedoms. Liberty, an evangelical Christian institution in Lynchburg, Va., has amended its dress code, allowing students to wear flip-flops, sandals, capri pants, and "neat" jeans to class. Students can also wear "modest" shorts in the dining hall and, after 4:30 p.m., in academic and administrative buildings.
The Liberty campus has grown by nearly a million square feet in the past year and it was time to make a more reasonable, more comfortable dress code for the students who are walking great distances for their classes. It has nothing to do with popular culture, but rather the desire to modernize "business-casual" dress.
The university is still asking the ladies to stick to more modest shorts -- in other words, not Daisy Dukes. No short shorts allowed.
As for jeans, well don't even get them started. Although there's no apparent verse in the Bible that would say that somehow wearing jeans is sinful, it is just a preference not to see them. Phew, I thought I missed something in Daniel 3:21
The institution's official dress codes - men & women.
