AAU Denies Reports of Meeting Between Skorton and Iranian President Ahmadinejad
|
The American Association of Universities categorically denied yesterday an Iranian news report that stated the six U.S. university presidents currently visiting Iran, including Cornell President David Skorton, were likely to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
“The report is inaccurate. That’s not happening,” said AAU spokesperson Barry Toiv.
The Iranian FARS News Agency reported earlier this week that Ahmadinejad was “likely to meet” with the university presidents.
