REXBURG, Idaho -- A spokesman for Brigham Young University-Idaho says a campus department crossed the line when banning students from wearing skinny jeans while attempting to carry out the Mormon school's dress code.
Spokesman Andy Cargal says at least one student was turned away from the university's testing center because their pants were deemed too tight.
Cargal says university policy does prohibit students from wearing form-fitting clothing, which is in line with the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But the school doesn't have a rule explicitly banning "skinny jeans," with their ultra-slim silhouette.
The university in Rexburg started to receive student complaints last week about a sign posted at the testing center prohibiting skinny jeans. Cargal says university administrators contacted the department and the sign was taken down.
