How do you know what all Christian universities are telling kids? There is a broad spectrum of Christian universities in this country, and it's not a good idea to assume what any of them are "telling" their students. But, it's probably fair to say that most Christian schools encourage their students to love and care for their fellow man, and one of the easiest and most effective ways to show that care is through action. Really, though, I see that just as much a "Golden rule" as anything.
But that has nothing to do with dress code. The schools that dictate dress code through ridiculous rules like women not being permitted to wear pants, don't trust their students. That's the bottom line. They don't trust their students to make grown-up decisions based on thought versus "feelings." THAT is the kind of Christian school you're talking about, and it's the minority. I'd appreciate it if you didn't group ALL Christian schools in with the extreme ones.
