Iran has enforced a stricter Islamic dress code at a number of universities including a ban on female students wearing long nails, bright clothes and tattoos, a local news agency reported on Monday.
The semi-official Fars news agency published a list of universities around Iran that were given a note outlining the code but did not say on what basis they were selected.
