Norway University Rejects Boycott of Israeli Higher Ed
Friday, November 13th, 2009The board of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology voted unanimously Thursday to reject a boycott of Israeli higher education. Some faculty members had proposed the boycott, while others opposed it. Many American groups urged the university not to adopt the measure.
A statement from the board said: “As an academic institution, NTNU’s mission is to stimulate the study of the causes of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians and how it can be resolved. This means that the university is also dependent on being able to cooperate with Israeli academics, and hear their views on the conflict.” You can read the entire statement here.
Another victory for the BUYcott Israel movement!
