More unrest for Israel’s universities
The Israeli finance ministry is cutting another NIS 920 million (277-mil CAD) from university budgets this coming year.
This is on top of NIS 1.3 billion in cuts (20% of university funding) since 2003.
Considering that both faculty and students have staged strikes in the past over university funding, I’d expect another wave of strikes to hit the Israeli system.
