Isn’t this just about modesty?

Well, of course.

(1) But why stop at skinny jeans? I can think of dozens of things the Mormon church can force its students to wear or not to wear. Why not an extensive comprehensive legalistic wardrobe list?

(2) Why stop at adults on campus? Why not force Mormon adults to adhere to comprehensive wardrobe policies where they meet for worship?

We’re talking about college students, right? Besides sweats what else do they were other than jeans?

Did you ever think such a list just isn’t needed?

“Why stop at adults on campus?”

Maybe because that was the issue?

Force? They can’t force anyone to do anything. They have no police force or army (not any more, at least). I bet most Mormon congregations have a written or strongly recognized but unwritten dress code.

They do. No pants for women (skirts only to the knee minimum), sleeves must be at least ‘garment length’, men are to wear dress shirts and ties, no ‘loud clothing’, in my ward, women were to wear pantyhose and closed toe shoes, etc...
