Peckford 42 Shiraz University head says students who who are expelled over their actions during recent protests are welcome to continue their studies at his institution.
The head of an Iranian university offered students expelled from American colleges while participating in the recent anti-Israel protests that have rocked campuses across the US in recent weeks […]
Mohammad Moazzeni, the head of Shiraz University in the Fars region, made the offer in an interview with the state-owned Press TV.
“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,” Moazzeni said.
Earlier this week, the NYPD arrested more than 280 people at anti-Israel protests at Columbia University and City College of New York.
Protesters at Columbia broke into and occupied a hall on campus early Tuesday morning.
The recent waves of protests began a little over two weeks ago when anti-Israel protesters set up a tent encampment on the Columbia campus. Similar protest encampments spread to campuses across the country over the next two weeks.
These anti-Israel protests have become hotbeds of antisemitism and support for Hamas terrorists.
Several universities, including Columbia, have threatened to suspend students who violate campus policy in the course of the protests.

Throughout history, humans have maintained an intricate connection with nature, often finding fascination with, and deriving numerous benefits from, the natural world.
This positive emotional bond with nature, which is considered to have a genetic basis, is known as “biophilia”. However, biophilia represents just one facet of our relationship with nature.
People can also harbour strong negative emotions and attitudes towards nature, referred to as “biophobia”. For example, encounters with snakes, spiders, and wasps can evoke profound fear in humans.
Similarly, people often feel disgust towards invertebrates such as flies, earthworms, and cockroaches.
Current evidence suggests that, in more urbanised and economically developed societies, the prevalence of biophobia is high and potentially increasing.
Further, research suggests that the prevalence of animal phobia is higher than that of other phobias such as fears of heights, medical experiences, flying, and enclosed spaces.
Despite this, the significance of biophobia in the human-nature interactions discourse has largely been overlooked. This is concerning, as levels of biophobia beyond that which could be considered useful or necessary can have far-reaching negative impacts on both human health and biodiversity conservation.
This Biophobia special feature comprises seven papers from different disciplinary perspectives, including biodiversity conservation, psychology, and behavioral science.
These studies explore diverse aspects of biophobia, with a particular emphasis on the drivers and consequences of increased biophobia.
They also provide key insights into how to mitigate excessive phobic responses towards nature. In this introductory paper, we will briefly explore what biophobia entails, how it operates, and why it is important in the context of the relationship between humans and nature.
We hope that this special feature will serve as a catalyst for more biophobia research, encouraging collaboration among researchers from diverse backgrounds to shed more light on this often-overlooked subject.
More than a year after the war, which left thousands of civilian casualties, displaced millions of children from their homes, and caused the largest education crisis in Sudan.
We call on all comrades in Sudan and outside it to continue their liberation and volunteer activities in shelter centers, refugee camps, and camps for displaced people, and hospitals, and not taking sides in the war.
We condemn the crimes committed by the Rapid Support Forces in Khartoum, Al-Jazira, and Darfur, including rape, murder, and recruitment of children.
We also condemn the army’s exploitation of the country’s catastrophic situation in an attempt to gain legitimacy for its dictatorial rule, which has reaped nothing but ruin.
We call on all revolutionaries to educate people against tribal fighting and stirring up strife and racism !
Long live the revolution
The soldiers go to the barracks and the Janjaweed disband !

Plus d’un an après la guerre, qui a fait des milliers de victimes civiles, déplacé des millions d’enfants de leurs foyers et provoqué la plus grande crise éducative au Soudan,
Nous appelons tous les camarades au Soudan et ailleurs à poursuivre leurs activités de libération et de volontariat dans les centres d’hébergement, les camps de réfugiés et les camps de personnes déplacées, et les hôpitaux, et nous appelons à ne pas prendre parti dans la guerre.
Nous condamnons les crimes commis par les Forces de soutien rapide à Khartoum, à Gezira et au Darfour, notamment les viols, les meurtres et le recrutement d’enfants.
Nous condamnons également l’exploitation par l’armée de la situation désastreuse que connaît le pays pour tenter de légitimer son régime dictatorial, qui n’a récolté que des ruines.
Nous appelons tous les révolutionnaires à éduquer la population contre les combats tribaux et l’incitation aux conflits et au racisme.
Vive la révolution
