Under the new policy, women undergraduates will be excluded from a broad range of studies in some of the country’s leading institutions, including English literature, English translation, hotel management, archaeology, nuclear physics, computer science, electrical engineering, industrial engineering and business management.
The Oil Industry University, which has several campuses across the country, says it will no longer accept female students at all, citing a lack of employer demand. Isfahan University provided a similar rationale for excluding women from its mining engineering degree, claiming 98% of female graduates ended up jobless.
So whaddaya expect from a country where the leader looks like one of the cast of “Planet of the Apes” (and I don’t mean any human cast members), denies the Holocaust, and funds international terrorism?
Allowing women to learn English? That’s scary if they know anything besides Persian and Arabic, right, lest they read something besides the koran! And archaeology? Frightening if women should discover all the mass graves of Muslim atrocities while searching for antiquities!
I wonder what Iranian women would say to the women – gay and straight – who attended al quds day in support of this regime.
Right… It boggles the mind.
