Professors for a Strong Israel
Statement to the Press - 24 May 2006
Re: A new university - without politics
Now that a suit has been filed opposing the upgrading of the College of Judea
and Samaria to a university, Professors for a Strong Israel wishes to point
out that the college in Ariel is, by any academic standards,
the most highly qualified for this step among all colleges in Israel.
The diversity of its faculties and departments and the quantity of research
undertaken join with its sheer size in making it the largest college
in the country.
We urge that the process of turning it into a university be accelerated.
The political voices in opposition, which have no academic basis,
should simply be ignored.
