Published in the Official Gazette: Disciplinary rules changed in KYK dormitories

Turkey’s Ministry of Youth and Sports has revised disciplinary and security rules for KYK student dormitories, published in the Official Gazette (Resmi Gazete). Students who unlawfully record or share images, audio, or data concerning other students’ private lives will face suspension from the dormitory. Under the new rules, dormitory management must notify the parents or a designated contact person when a student fails to enter the dormitory and cannot be reached within a reasonable time. The changes matter because they extend privacy protections to students’ personal data and formalize a notification chain for missing or unaccounted-for residents. Watch for the ministry’s implementation guidance and how dormitory administrations apply the suspension penalty and parental notification requirement in practice.
