Speech [Struggle for Islamization of universities]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

The decision was adopted to appoint new members instead of the gentlemen who were absent due to some reasons and did not participate in board meetings. All the gentlemen who are today on the board are my representatives. There is no difference between these gentlemen and the old members. However, the story of university is among the most important concerns, as it is important for our enemies and those who want to deflect the mind of our youths. University is the center of all developments, even establishment of government. We should pursue the efforts to Islamize universities to be useful for the country. Attempts should be made so that the universities do not tilt towards either one of the powers. This calls for time, energy, and close supervision. You should be coutious lest the deviants may correct our youths with preserve ideas after inauguration of universities, and many people are required to supervise the process.

I hope that we have universities that are useful for the nation. To give reality to this idea, it is necessary to use experts and in case of shortage of committed experts use experts who are not antagonistic to the Islamic Republic. God willing make efforts with ever-greater power in this matter and proceed to achieve the divine purpose.
