When demonstrators took to the streets after Iran's disputed Presidential election, many of them were students. That's why, as Iran's universities opened back up to students this week, many expected widespread student demonstrations.
The NY Times Lede Blog links to this great first-person video walking along with protests at Tehran University.
The Lede Blog also links to an essay with a great look at the threat posed to the Iranian regime by students, specifically by their learning of humanities: "Why is the Islamic Republic Afraid of the Humanities?"
