It was also so under the Shah's dictatorship. Today, apart from pro-IRI students, other students, Muslims or not, are forced to bow to certain reactionary and undemocratic rules.Imposed rules prohibit students not only from any political activities opposing the Islamic regime, but as reflected in the decisive restriction of Islamic norms, they violate the most private and personal affairs of individual freedom. See the following rules publicly required in a university in Abadan, a south-west city in Iran: Prohibitions at Abadan’s Islamic Open University: 1- Wearing a T-shirt. 2- Wearing shorts 3- Wearing inappropriate shoes (sandals, slippers…) 4- Listening to or distributing un-Islamic music (via mobile phoesn of MP3 players) 5- Wearing jewelry. 6- Smoking. 7- Filming with mobile camera phones, etc. 8- Immoral mixing with strangers. 9- Behavior unbecoming of a student or Muslim.
