South Africa Policy In America...Melona Clark, Hampton University Student, Carries Papers To Prove She Can Wear Hijab

letter from her mosque before the university would allow her to wear her headscarf on campus, local news outlet WTKR-TV reported on Friday.
“If I am ever stopped and asked who I am … I want to have all the proof that I can that I am a student here,” she told the station when asked about why she carries the official papers with her everywhere she goes. “I don’t want to have to go through anything like I went through in the first place.”
A historically black university in southeastern Virginia, Hampton specifies in its dress code that students “seeking approval to wear headgear as an expression of religious or ...” need to make a written request through the chaplain, who then has to ask the student affairs vice president “for final approval.”
The dress code does not mention students also needing a letter from their mosque.
Because Hampton is a private school, it is free to impose stricter dress codes than a public university would be allowed to.
A spokesperson for the university did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
