🔶 Minister of Science: More than 400 dismissed students and 100 dismissed professors have returned to university

Hussein Saeimi Şeraf, the Minister of Science of the Islamic Republic, in statements titled “Dialogue with the People,” published on Sunday, 8 Shahrivar (30 August) by the government information website, said that some professors and students who had been dismissed from university have returned.

According to the Minister of Science, Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of Iran, had issued an order for the return of professors and students who had been dismissed or barred from university for political reasons. He described the order as “an action to restore trust between the university and the government and to preserve the dignity of academics.” However, according to the minister, the implementation of this order has not yet been completed.

Saeimi Saraf also announced that around 400 students have returned to university. He said the reason for the treatment of the students was political and related to the protests of 1401, and that the cases were examined separately through the legal process and corrected.

The Minister of Science also reported the return of more than 100 professors, whose employment relationship with some universities had been cut off or who had been dismissed from the universities.
