Riot police raid Sharif University known as MIT in homeland after student protest

In 1974 a new campus of the university was established in Isfahan. But later that campus became an independent university, named Isfahan University of Technology (IUT). The emblem of IUT still closely resembles SUT’s emblem. Following the revolution, the university was named after Majid Sharif Vaghefi, who was one of the People’s Mujahedin of Iran group’s leaders who was killed by the members of a splinter group (later renamed to Peykar Organization) who had recently converted from Islam to Marxism and were adamant to forcefully change the Mujahedin’s organization’s ideology to Marxism.
