About the name:
The University's name, "Tarbiat Modares" is NOT after Seyed Hassan Modares, the revolutionist cleric (as it was indicated in Wikipedia), but for the reason that the university was originally established aiming to provide the Iranian universities with new lecturers and research staff. Since after the Islamic Revolution in Iran many university professors who were pro with the Shah's regime were expelled, and there was a shortage of "committed" and "clean" lecturers at that time, Tarbiat Modares University was initially in charge for training (tarbiat, تربيت, in Persian) university lecturers (modares, مدرس, in Persian), and selecting its students after an "ideologic" screening process. Later, however, it admitted students similar to other universities.
