| 1- more than the semester, professors in Israel (and university heads) must save universities as public goods in a society that keeps exacerbating socioeconomic differences and stratified access to knowledge by fostering unhealthy economic policies that have been proved to be a failure in too many countries. 2- Conspicuously missing in this conversation is the education minister, who is either unable to assert leadership and creative thinking or she is presenting an absolute disregard and disdain; thus tacitly endorsing a policy of "privatizing" higher education in Israel. next, privatize the IDF? 3- Do you guys have a prime minister, or a president? by staying away from the discussion, they are complicit in selling short Israeli universities (including students). 4- I would be glad to keep receiving Israeli graduate students and professors in our campuses who will leave Israel "in buckets" -brilliant, creative, very productive scholars and hard workers! |
