"these decisions by specific universities are a far cry from “Iran” banning all women from attending all universities, as the title of the article implies. In fact, the decision of these universities has not been “officially-approved” by any stretch of the imagination, and a Director General in charge of education at the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology has sent letters to the universities (which have private decision-making) demanding explanations for the decisions taken. Although various officials have offered some half-hearted explanation for the decision- mostly focusing around the inability to women to get jobs in the particular fields of study banned- it also appears that the effort is part of an attempt to even the gender imbalance that has meant that Iranian women get accepted into universities at a rate of 60-40 as compared to their male counterparts.

Wanna see the BBC News article? Or any of the other neutral news sites?
But, it's okay. I'm used to fundamentalists making claims they can't back up and dismissing the responses of others.
It's what fundamentalists, Chcristian, Muslim, Jewish and others have the most in common: dishonesty and a serious lack of morality.
