Lets not have flawed argument regarding the dress code and the church sponsored schools/colleges. What would be the use of a church sponsoring a college/school/hospital and etc if it is not to advance its faith?
um the reason will be putting the cart before the horse. Colleges and schools are for advancing knowledge. Hospitals are for curing the sick. Church and sermons and the bible are where faith is advanced. Knowledge and faith are not exactly compatible.

From colonial times, this was the intention.....
yes, absolutely! to subjugate the heathen residents of the dark uncivilised continent.
Quote:
Even mhindi schools are like that... if you feel you can not stand one faith, then just dont go to a school they sponsor.....
not exactly a good way to advance faith is it? Moreso christianity. Since when should christians practise politics of exclusion?
Quote:
I was in another christian sponsored school and we had muslims there, we went for their services, it was protestant, we were there for different agendas.... i needed the certs, my muslim friend needed the certs, the church needed to advance its faith... it worked together for all of us... whether we got converted that is another story....
isnt that what we are saying? Go and get your academic certificate and leave. You dont have to be burdened with religious dogmas!

There is a big difference between strath and catholic university in karen and they are both catholic schools. Therefore people arguing that the dress code is because it is a christian school or a catholic school are so wrong. It is also SAD to not that people who attended the university have no idea where the dress code came from. What a shame you earn a degree or diploma and you have no idea about the place you got it shame. I shall educate you all.
The dress code is more to do with the particular wing/sect/ whatever you call it that started the strathmore, the opus dei sect.

St. Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei, makes this point in a far more eloquent manner

I believe You should dress in accordance with the demands of your social standing, your family background, your work... as your companions do, but to please God: eager to present a genuine and attractive image of true Christian living. Do everything with naturalness, without being extravagant. I can assure you that in this matter it is better to err on the side of excess than to fall short. How do you think Our Lord dressed? Haven't you pictured to yourself the dignity with which he wore his seamless cloak which had probably been woven for him by Our Lady? Don't you remember how, in Simon's house, he was grieved because he had not been offered water to wash his hands before taking his place at the table? No doubt he drew attention to this example of bad manners to underline his teaching that love is shown in little details. But he also wants to make it clear that he stands by the social customs of his time, and therefore you and I must make an effort to be detached from the goods and comforts of the world, but without doing anything that looks odd or peculiar.
I don't appreciate the strictness but those are their rules you either live with it or move on simple. I hope this argument can be laid to rest now.

@tony stark its a pity that you have NO IDEA what you are talking about...

You choose to blame the dress code on opus dei but in truth it has nothing to do with them....

Strathmore was founded in the 60's but there was no dress code until the late 90's and this code was upon the request of the students....

And YES the lecturers and all the staff adhere to the same code

Interesting reading, many opinions and many facts. We should encourage airing of our Opinions (always noting our personal bias) and Facts (realizing we choose selectively what suits our arguments).

But what of RESPECT: our upbringing demands more of us. Here we are talking about a Kenyan institution respected internationally, by alumnae, changed the lives of many. And the issue is nothing to do with malpractice or dishonor, and we still can't live and let live?

We individually demand more respect be accorded us by our family, friends, workmates... I bemoan the collective loss of our character..

Im sorry so the quote from st josemaria has nothing to do with the dress code okay and we should believe that the code was made up in an imaginary meeting done in the LATE 90's.
Guru I did not "blame" opus dei.
The university was set up, run and uses alot of the opus dei doctrine ...... FACT
The opus dei have a centre right next to the university ....... FACT
The dress code is rooted in opus dei doctrine of performing daily acts for God and that includes dressing and hence the quote from st josemaria if you know who that is....... FACT
Your argument is I should disregard all the facts above and imagine a fictitious meeting that happened sometimes in the late 90's. I am sure for a fact that dressing is and has always been an issue for all opus dei run facilities if you know any other you shall know that this to is a .......... FACT!!!!!.
If your fictitious meeting ever occured and that is a big IF it was probably to write down the code as has always been practised.
To rest my case it is in fact you who has no idea of what you are saying. Next time before you accuse someone of not knowing what they are saying have some knowledge of what you are saying na uwache upumbavu!

definition - Kenyan [ˈkɛnjən ˈ, kiːnjən, Ken′•yan] n

-a native or inhabitant of Kenya

-a homeless person you invite to your house who wonders aloud why there is no bacon for breakfast.

-a person who will give you expert advice on why your relatively reputable training institution is not producing world class brains when they cannot show a two-student village polytechnic let alone a world class project to their name.


give the devil his dues - a good chunk of kenyans in the country and the diaspora have strath to thank for facilitating their degree, acca, cpa, cfa, cisa na kadhalika.

joke is - strath is doing something about bettering kenya's brainpower while 'experts' with international (a.k.a. google search engine) experience sit on their behinds dishing out textbook advice.

beware of kenyan 'experts' -
