SHIRAZ, Iran (TND) The leader of an Iranian university will offer scholarships to American and European students who have been expelled for pro-Palestine protests, according to Iranian news outlet PressTV.
Mohammad Moazzeni, the head of Shiraz University, reportedly argued this week such protesters are being treated too harshly by police. This approach by American officials, he reportedly claimed, indicates a global collapse.
Shiraz University will also accept expelled professors, Moazzeni reportedly added.
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 [to provide the conditions], Moazzeni said, according to the outlet.
Students at Columbia University knowingly risked suspension while occupying the school's Hamilton Hall this week. Protesters used zip ties and stacked furniture to block entrances to the building while hanging a banner to rename it in honor of a Palestinian boy killed in Gaza.
The University of California, Los Angeles canceled classes Wednesday after pro-Palestine and pro-Israel protesters sparked a violent conflict on campus overnight. The Los Angeles Police Department announced on X it was asked to respond to the campus to "assist in restoring order."
