I doubt they will reverse their decision or be required to. The Hijab would not be able to be properly worn in uniform and not be able to take away from the uniform appearance.

If you want to go to a military styled college, there is a certain standard you are required to conform to. If you do not want to conform to that standard (or set of standards) you can always go to a Civilian, who gives a s#!t styled college. The education is basically the same, but in the civilian one, you can smoke dope, act stupid, and fail without having to deal with your choices for a little while.

I thought so, but the Civilian Mindset and the Generation Gap seems to be the prevailing reasons why these fools start shit without thinking it through.

Well said and to the point. Sometimes you need to make sacrifices to your personal life wishes to meet your goal.

CPT Aaron Kletzing wow, this is new for sure. Regulation is regulation, I suppose, there is always a loophole!
According to page 46 of the U.S. Army Regulation AR 600-20, religious headgear may be worn while in the Army uniform if the headgear is subdued in color, can be completely covered by standard military headgear, and does not interfere with the wear or proper functioning of protective clothing or equipment. The other service branches have similar policies, based on Dept. of Defense Directive 1300.17, Accommodation of Religious Practices within the Military Services.

As a private institution, are they bound by military regulations?

SFC J Fullerton - They are a public institution, and Army regs have no hold unless it's the Army's ROTC on site. But there day to day is all on the School rules
