Minister Deplores University Unrest
Chancellor Resigns

TEHRAN, Nov. 3-- Minister of Science, Research and Technology Jafar Tofiqi said a number of people have been identified during Tuesday's student unrest in Science and Technology University, but no arrest has been made.

Speaking to IRNA after a cabinet session on Wednesday, Tofiqi said the incident distorted the image of the Islamic system and the academia.

A number of students took the university's chancellor hostage after he authorized members of liberal and reformist groups to address gatherings at the college campus.

"Such attempts are neither approved by student bodies nor the intelligentsia," he said.

Mohammad Taqi Salehi, chancellor of Science and Technology University, was also assaulted and is now in hospital.

Speaking to ISNA from his hospital bed, Salehi said the identity of the culprits is known and that they belong to Basij (volunteer forces) groups. Salehi also said he has submitted his resignation to the minister, because he no longer feels safe in the university.
