"Turkish court deals blow to scarf supporters
ANKARA, March 11: A Turkish court on Tuesday ruled that the head of a top education watchdog had overstepped his brief by ordering universities to allow students to wear the Islamic headscarf on campus after a controversial legal amendment, the Anatolia news agency said.
The Council of State, Turkey’s top administrative court, suspended the order issued last month by Yusuf Ziya Ozcan, chairman of the Higher Education Board, handing a legal victory to academics who maintain the headscarf ban on campus."
