Sepandee 01:35, 30 January 2007 (UTC) How come there is no mention of Dr. Ali Akbar Siassi, one of the main craftsmen of the university, and the Chancellor of the university for I think more than 10 years, and as the only person who refused to mix the university with state intervention?

Founder of The University Of Tehran

Mahmoud Hessaby was not the founder of The University! You could easily check out the website of the university. The Founder was Ali-Asghar Hekmat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.127.1.54 (talk) 19:39, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

I temporarily reverted this part to Mahmoud Hessaby. I agree that this is a matter of discussion but I could not verify this for either of these people. Saeed (talk) 21:55, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Fictional, Manufactured History

The establishment dates 1851 (Dar ul-Funun) and 1899 (Tehran School of Political Sciences) are pure fiction, and likely added by some uber-nationalistic "hamvatan" who like to inflate dates to manufacture historical "first"s in the region. Interestingly enough, this mistake is not mirrored in the Farsi/Persian version of University of Tehran because, I'm guessing, it would be laughable to any Iranian reading the Persian entry to see a connection has been made between Dar ul-Funun, Tehran School of Political Sciences, and the University of Tehran. These are all separate entities. The history as is currently written in the English entry is partly manufactured, and is indeed incorrect. Even on the University's own website, in the "History" page (تاریخچه) notes the establishment date as 1934 (۱۳۱۳). I will wait for a few days to see if there are any objections (which in reality there should be exactly ZERO objections as these are simple hard facts), and then will edit the page and remove the laughably moronic and manufactured history. 164.68.240.173 (talk) 23:37, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

• For the non-specialists among us, some sources etc. would be helpful. Drmies (talk) 23:39, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

To be fair to whoever added those dates, they were likely relying on the English version of the "About University of Tehran" which remarkably tells a different story than the detailed "History" (تاریخچه) page on the University's main website (Farsi version); the English version claims a 2000 year history and makes a connection between the University of Tehran and Academy of Gondishapur, which was likely established in 5th or 6th century AD, and destroyed/abandoned around 9th century AD, so none of makes any sense (there's been no Academy of Gondishapur for centuries, and even then, it would not be 2000 years old). The correct, factual date is 1934, and I think at the very least we can use the Persian "History" page of the University's own website (https://ut.ac.ir/fa/page/200/%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%B1%DB%8C%D8%AE%DA%86%D9%87) as a reference. Unfortunately, there is a tendency in Iran to inflate history and it has deep nationalistic roots; it, supposedly, makes us look "good" and "civilized" in the eyes of the Westerners or something along those lines (** cries in Farsi **). 164.68.240.173 (talk) 23:54, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Dar ul-Funun

Hi. This University isn't in the place of former Dar ul-Funun. They are geographically apart. Aminabzz (talk) 21:51, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
