Videos circulating online show students from the University of Tehran dormitories gathering outside the main entrance of the dorm complex to protest the commercialization of the university and the poor conditions in student housing.
According to reports, students from both the men’s and women’s dormitories took part. Protesters say the university is no longer a place of learning for many students, but a profit-driven enterprise where welfare services are steadily being stripped away.
