PISCATAWAY - Rutgers University has issued a formal apology after banning students from a job fair for wearing blue suits, colored shirts, brown shoes or other attire that violated a strict new dress code for the event.

The controversy started Feb. 10 when several students who arrived at a career fair for the Rutgers Business School were turned away, according to The Daily Targum, the university's student newspaper.

Students were told they could return if they changed clothes, but some owned only one suit or lived too far away to drive home and make it back in time, the Targum's report said.

"We regret that the actions at last week's career fair adversely affected some of our students and cast a shadow over the success we have achieved in helping our students secure more meaningful internships and jobs,".

Rutgers will help students contact recruiters they were banned from meeting and work one revising the dress code, Lei said.

In previous years, Rutgers students failed to present themselves well at the event, the university told the student newspaper.
