Skorton Meets With Iranian Official in Science Exchange

Correction appended.

While in Iran from Nov. 14 to Nov. 20, President David Skorton met with Iranian Minister of Science, Research and Technology Mohammad Mehdi Zahedi, despite reports that the president would not be meeting with Iranian government officials.

According to Skorton, who traveled to Tehran last month for six days with a delegation of six university presidents on a trip coordinated by the Association of American Universities, the group did not meet with any other government officials. However, they met with Zahedi on the basis that the trip’s purpose was to promote “interactions of science faculties.”
