UMass Campus Won't Admit Iranian Students

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — The University of Massachusetts at Amherst has banned Iranian nationals from admission to certain graduate programs in a move that school officials say aligns its policy with U.S. sanctions against Iran.

The university will no longer admit students from Iran to some programs in engineering and natural sciences.

The National Iranian American Council says UMass' interpretation of the law is flawed and may violate protections against discrimination.


Congress enacted legislation in August 2012 that denies visas for Iranian citizens to study in the U.S. if they plan to participate in coursework for a career in the energy or nuclear fields in Iran.

But a U.S. State Department official says federal law doesn't prohibit qualified Iranian nationals from seeking an education in science and engineering. Each application is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

The US government maintains that Iran is an enemy. If the government does not want Iran to develop any nuclear capabilities. Then there would be no way the US would permit Iranian nationals to study at any of the country's colleges or universities.
