Most students in major Iranian schools are preparing for traditional anti-government demonstrations on Student Day. Polytechnic University has been the focal point of such student protests since their famous move of burning Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's pictures before his eyes when he was speaking at the school in December 2006.

Following the move, most of the school's students have been summoned to the so-called "disciplinary committee."  Many were suspended from following academic semesters despite Ahmadinejad's hollow show of tolerance for students' critical views of the mullahs' regime.
