Felicia Layton, a 21-year-old kinesiology student and employee of an on-campus daycare, shared in a Facebook post on Thursday that she was sent home from work for wearing the back of her hair wrapped in a headscarf.

A junior at the University of Alabama at Birmingham says that her supervisor at her on-campus job sent her home for wearing a headscarf, which was in violation a recent change in the school's employee dress code.

Layton added that the dress code policy regarding headwear is"word of mouth" and was apparently sent out earlier this week⁠ — though she has never seen it in writing. “The UAB handbook states that employees must adhere to dress standards or uniforms that have been established in patient areas or in any other department or unit at UAB. An addendum was made to the Child Development Center’s dress code on July 10 and was sent to all of the center’s employees via email on the same day.
