Universities in Iran are co-ed.
 As part of our series Higher Education in the Middle East, we'll take a look at Iranian universities. In Iran, a degree is a must for both men and women. We find out about the history of Iran’s university system and how post-revolution reforms to education had the unintended consequence of producing a government backlash. We'll also hear from Middle Eastern college students attending school in Chicago. And contributor Milos Stehlik reviews the film Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.
