[edit] University name
The University's is not named for Sayyed Hassan Modaress, the revolutionist cleric. Rather, it is a reference to its original purpose, in response to the expulsion from Iran of professors who supported the Shah's regime. Tarbiat Modares University was initially in charge of 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.
