"Emory University protesters bring awareness to Iranian security chief’s daughter Ardeshir-Larijani so that she would be booted from her position at the school."

The daughter of one of Iran’s most powerful officials was quietly ousted from her position at Emory University following a wave of public outrage over her employment, The California Post confirmed.
Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, an assistant professor at Emory’s prestigious Winship Cancer Institute, is no longer employed by the prestigious Atlanta-based school, a university spokesperson said Sunday.
Ardeshir-Larijani’s father, Ali Larijani, is a top dog in the Islamic Republic’s brutal regime, serving as secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
“A physician who is the daughter of a senior Iranian government official is no longer an employee of Emory,” said Andrea Clement, a PR director at Emory’s Winship Cancer Institute.
Pressure had been building for Ardeshir-Larijani to be canned — and possibly deported from the US — in light of Iran’s bloody crackdown on protesters that began in late December.
Pressure to address Ardeshir-Larijani’s immigration and employment status gained steam after The Post reported on an online petition nearly 100,000 people signed that called on the US government to immediately deport her.
The heat on Emory intensified when furious demonstrators descended on the medical center on Jan. 19, waving signs that read, “Did you know Iran terror chief’s daughter is your co-worker?”
Republican Georgia Rep. Earl “Buddy” Carter fired off a letter to Emory and the Georgia Medical Board demanding Ardeshir-Larijani be fired and stripped of her medical license.

"Emory University protesters bring awareness to Iranian security chief’s daughter Ardeshir-Larijani so that she would be booted from her position at the school."
And she’s a dog to boot
That label will play well in Iran. They love being called curs.
YES!
Ah, my “prestigious” alma mater. Went to a reunion a couple of years ago and was shocked to see tampon dispensers in the men’s bathrooms.
How much did they cost?
“Sins of the father” as it were.
Why was she allowed into the country in the first place?

Agreed. But you don't think Laz would hit it?
Top dog, head honcho, big cheese, numero uno
Money.
Every Arab in the world wants to come here if they can.
Great fun when your culture and religion is ascending.
The USS Abraham Lincoln is just in range now
Okay, but Iranians aren’t arabs. They’re Persian.

Emory is closely connected to the United Methodist Church. So, to me, that fact, makes the fact that they hired the daughter of a top Iranian government official not surprising. It fits with the rest of the woke UMC.
I interviewed for colleges in 1970—and Emory was one of those places.
The person interviewing me was a crackpot leftist and spoke in sickening leftist cliches—and I was so disgusted I walked out in the middle of the interview—and did not apply there.
They may have been an outlier—but I had no interest in finding out whether that was true or not.
The current rulers of Iran are not Persian, they are mostly arab invaders.
“ Iranians aren’t arabs. ”
You are, of course, correct.
The ruling segment of Iranians, have, however, completely adopted Arab culture and religion in the form of Islam, including dress like this woman
So they might as well be Arab.
I was not particularly politically aware when applying to and going to college. Emory was a fine experience for me, a big reason being I joined a great fraternity.
most alumni/students are secular jews. would you expect it not to be progressive?
Agreed, good catch.
But the Persians want their country back, the Arabs just want to conquer.
Enjoy the ice-apocalypse.
