In this session, Dr Farhadi called ATU one of the most successful, pioneering, and well-arranged universities of Iran, being active both in cultural and political activities, and educational and research areas. He then, pointing that ATU serves as a model for other Iranian universities, added: "The higher education system, acting as one of the [most] prominent cultural and educational institutions, should demonstrate its adherence and commitment to law, both in formal and informal education." He concluded that a lack of commitment to the law will "call into question the validity and credibility of the higher education system".
