Shiraz University in Iran has announced a scholarship program offering free tuition to American students expelled as a result of their pro-Palestinian protests.
Police detain a demonstrator inside a pro-Palestinian encampment on the UCLA campus Thursday, May 2, 2024, in Los Angeles. “Students and even professors who have been expelled or threatened with expulsion can continue their studies at Shiraz University, and I think that other universities in Shiraz, as well as Fars province, are also prepared,” Mohammad Moazzeni told Iranian state-owned Press TV.
The declaration comes in the wake of the New York Police Department’s arrest of over 280 protesters at Columbia University and City University of New York because of campus-wrecking demonstrations against Israel. The arrests have been linked by New York Mayor Eric Adams to “outside agitators” radicalizing students.Meanwhile, a professor at the University of Tehran said Iran is happy to see the protests. “These are our people,” Foad Izadi said, according to Middle East Media Research Institute TV.
