Bar Ilan University has removed from its student discipline rules the requirement that male students wear yarmulkes in classes on Judaism, as well as the requirement to “avoid wearing revealing apparel” on campus.
Haaretz reported that the demands have anyway not been enforced in recent years, and it has now been decided to remove them from the “Student Declaration” of the institution, which students are asked to sign.
The university also noted that the change comes as a result of the decline of religious students in the institution compared to the secular ones.
