| #3 it's all about the coin - they can charge a bunch for an Iranian student, and don't give a f*ck about that country's policies, who the students might be, or what they might be doing here in their spare time. Hint: any student allowed by the Iranian gov't to travel and study here is an agent of the regime F*cking traitorous bastards |

| #2 Posting the latest job openings at six Universities and the Assoc of American Universities is a great way to help the country out of this financial slump... these positions are open aren't they? Shouldn't they be? |

| #1 No surprises here. Simply a case of poor memory or denial. I sincerely hope they stay on in Tehran for at least 444 days. |
