►HE Mohammad Khatami to be awarded honorary Doctorate of Laws

After informed discussion and debate with senior academics and authorities on the matter, the Students’ Association fully backs the decision by the University of St Andrews to award HE Mohammad Khatami an honorary Doctorate of Laws. While it would be easy to oppose HE Mohammad Khatami’s award on the basis of the tensions which existed within Iran during his presidency, the Students’ Association believes that Khatami himself predominantly adopted a brave stance to promote liberal values in the face of great adversity. This personal courage, combined with his subsequent work in building interfaith dialogue and communication (notably through the Dialogue of Civilisations project), coupled with his notable achievements as a scholar, make him a very suitable candidate for such an award.The University of St Andrews Students’ Association
