    SUTA Appealing to the Universities Abroad to Ease Application Process for Student from Iran

    Due to the recent protests in Iran against the government, authorities often restrict internet access throughout the country to prevent the circulation of the news.  As a result, students that are applying to universities abroad may encounter intermittent problem in filling application forms online. The Iranian government has also substantially increased the fee for release of the students’ academic records in recent months. This is amidst an economic crisis in Iran that has led to devaluation of the Iranian currency compared to foreign currencies making the application fee and fees for taking GRE and TOEFL unaffordable for many applicants. Even if applicants afford the exam fees, the internet instability is often preventing them from taking the exams.

    To ease the application process for the students facing difficulties in applying to the universities abroad due to the above situation, we are suggesting that the universities:

    1.    Waive the application fee

    2.    Waive GRE and/or TOEFL exams requirement

    3.   Conditionally accept unofficial transcripts

    4.   Extend application deadlines

     

    Of course, universities can require applicants to take any competency exam and provide official transcripts once they arrived to the universities.

    In these difficult times in Iran, helping with any of the above items would be a big support for prospective graduate students from Iran to have the opportunity to pursue their academic goal.

    بیانیه سوتا درباره تحولات  اخیر در دانشگاههای ایران


    اعتصابات و تحصن دانشجویان دانشگاه‌های سراسر ایران در اعتراض به حمله نیروهای امنیتی به دانشگاهها و دستگیری همکلاسی هایشان همچنان ادامه دارد. در مقابل مقامات دانشگاهی دانشجویان را در صورتی که به اعتصاب خود ادامه دهند تهدید به اخراج کرده اند.

    سوتا از خواسته های دانشجویان مبنی بر آزادی بدون قید و شرط دانشجویان زندانی حمایت کرده و از استادان محترم درخواست میکند هر آنچه در توان دارند را برای همراهی با دانشجویان معترض و تحقق خواسته‌های ایشان بکار گیرند.

    سوتا همچنین بر این باور است که دانشگاه باید حق اعتراض از طریق برگزار نکردن/شرکت نکردن در کلاسهای درس را به رسمیت بشناسد و کسی را بابت آن مجازات نکند.

    وطن در جوش و خروش است. خروشی که با مرگ دلخراش دختر ایرانزمین آغاز شد و زخمهای بیشمار دلهای همه ما را باز کرد.

    خروشی که از چابهار تا ارس، از اهواز تا خراسان، از کردستان تا تهران و از بندر عباس تا خزر همه‌ی وطن را به فوران آورد و بذر امید و نوید همبستگی را به دلهای ما هدیه داد.

    با تاسف پاسخ فریاد دادخواهی فرزندان مظلوم, زنان آزاده و مردان دلیر سرزمینمان جز سرکوب خونین هیچ نبود و نیست.

    با دلی سرشار از خشم واندوه، مطلع شدیم که شام تار دیگری در کارنامه سیاه حاکمیت شکل گرفت و در ادامه سرکوب فرندان شما در دانشگاههای دیگر، امشب صحن دانشگاه شریف به چکمه دژخیمان آلوده شد و رییس امنیتی دانشگاه سنگ‌ها را بست و سگ‌ها را رهانید.

    امشب فرزندان شما در زیر باران باتوم و گلوله به بدترین شکل ممکن مورد هجوم نیروهای امنیتی و لباس شخصی‌ای قرار گرفتند که با هدایت رییس دانشگاه، صحن دانشگاه شریف، استادان و دانشجویان را مورد تاخت و تاز قراردادند.

    فریاد کمک خواهی فرندان مظلوم شما از پارکینگ دانشگاه تا آنسوی دنیا رسید و دل ما را بدرد آورد.

    چند نفر از فرزندان دانشمند این سرزمین امشب را با تن مجروح و ضربدیده در بیمارستان و یا بازداشتگاه میگذرانند کسی نمی داند!

    همراه با شما دل ما نیز خونین است و سینه‌امان پر درد!

    ما اعضای انجمن دانشگاه شریف در اسکاندیناوی ضمن محکومیت شدید این اقدام وحشیانه و غیر انسانی و همدردی با هموطنان شریفمان، از شما میخواهیم که فرزندان مظلوم خود را تنها نگذارید و به یاریشان بشتابید.

    به نیروهای امنیتی و سازمان سرکوب حکومت هشدار میدهیم که بر سر شاخ نشسته‌اید و بن میبرید.

    در دنیای امروز هیچ جنایتی از دید مردم و عدالت پنهان نخواهد ماند.


    برای این بهشت اجباری / برای نخبه‌های زندانی

    Dear Fellow Academics:

    In the past several days, students in universities across Iran have been on strike while gathering in their universities to protest in solidarity with the recent Iranian people uprising against the Islamic Republic.  In response, the Islamic regime has surrounded the universities and used its security forces to beat and arrest the students. The violence against student protests has been particularly brutal in Sharif University of Technology.  At the time of writing this letter, students are sending SOS messages to outside world asking for help. We are extremely concerned about the imminent danger to students lives in the universities if the international community doesn’t intervene. 

    Hereby, we respectfully urge your institution to strongly condemn the Iranian regime’s use of violence against student protests, and demand security forces to leave the universities and release all arrested students.

    With Regards,

    Sharif University of Technology Association

    مردم عزیز  ایران،


    انجمن دانشگاه صنعتی شریف (سوتا) تظاهرات اخیر هموطنان در اعتراض به قتل مظلومانه و غم انگیز دختر ایران، مهسا امینی را با نگرانی دنبال میکند. این انجمن ضمن محکوم کردن تبعیض علیه زنان و تحقیر آنان به بهانه اعمال حجاب اجباری انزجار خود را از برخورد خشونت امیز با معترضین و دستگیری آنان اعلام میدارد.

    آزادی انسانها در اعتقاداتشان، سبک زندگی، و امکان اعتراض و آزادی بیان از حقوق اولیه بشر  است که باید توسط هر حکومتی رعایت شود. باور داریم ریشه ظلمی که بر زنده یاد مهسا امینی رفته در قوانین تبعیض آمیز و ناعادلانه‌ای است که بر نیمی از شهروندان سرزمینمان روا شده و‌ لذا خواهان برچیده شدن هر چه سریعتر چنین قوانینی هستیم.

    این انجمن همچنین از تمام اعضای نیروهای مسلح میخواهد که از دست بردن به خشونت در بر‌خورد با اعتراضات هم‌میهنان خود اجتناب کنند و سلاح‌های خود را به سمت هم‌وطنان، همشهریان، و همسایگان معترض خود نشانه نروند.

    به امید ‌فردایی بهتر‌ که‌ در آن همه اقشار جامعه با رواداری و احترام به عقاید و سبک زندگی یکدیگر در مسالمت و آرامش زندگی کنند.
