CAIRO — Controversy sticks to school dress codes like static cling.
Cairo University President Gaber Nassar issued a decision Sept. 29 prohibiting veiled faculty and assistants from teaching. Nassar said students have complained that the veil keeps instructors from communicating effectively and that the decision was made in the public's interest. Veiled teachers are prohibited from lecturing, giving theoretical and practical lessons, or attending laboratory sessions and practical training.
