This happens at the university I go to: wearing shorts is against the rules (being written up enough times for it can get you expelled) but no one cares because it's the students (RAs) that enforce it.

So when people are mad at each other (or someone just likes wielding their power) other people end up hurt. "It's not enforced" is a terrible excuse for bad laws.

Not that I like shorts, they're pretty ugly.



What weird backward university is this that doesn't allow shorts?!


Not even BYU completely bans shorts (at least according to a disillusioned co-worker).

Ok looks like Pensacola Christian College basically bans shorts.



Huh not what I was told (though they ban most shorts you could reasonably buy at a store, especially for women, or something like that)


well the original poster said it was not enforced.

Shorts are life.
