History
[ edit ]
Establishment
[ edit ]
Islamic Azad University Central Tehran Branch is the very first branch established under the university system which is known as Islamic Azad University , so the history of this branch can be traced back to the foundation of the university.[7]
Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani sought to establish a private university to address the challenges posed during the early years of Iranian Revolution -such as Cultural Revolution - and to meet increasing demands of secondary-school graduates for higher education in Iran.[8] On the sidelines of an Islamic Republican Party conference, Rafsanjani mooted the idea with Abdollah Jasbi , who supported and developed the plan to establish Islamic Azad University .[7]
Islamic Azad University Central Tehran Branch is the very first branch established under the university system which is known as Islamic Azad University .[7] In its early days, the university lacked sufficient funds and facilities to operate, sorely relying on donations made by people and government.[7] The initial endowment was about 100,000 Rials .[9]
Jasbi rented No. 155 building in Forsat Shirazi St., while Nassir Shekarriz and Mahmoud Latifipour – who were in charge as Chancellor and Vice Chancellor respectively – rented the sixth floor of a building located in Enqelab St. , Felestin St. in order to hold an entrance exam in 1982.[7] This university began as the Islamic Azad University of Tehran when it opened its doors to about 200 students, offering six majors in bachelor's degree and two in associate degree.[10]
Soon after, the whole building in Enqelab St. was purchased from Mostazafan Foundation of Islamic Revolution and became the university's first property. (Current Faculty of Arts and Architecture)[7]
