It was no surprise to me coming here this semester that the senior professors at all Israeli public universities were on strike... strikes are actually rather common in Israel-- last spring university students went on strike demanding that the tuition not be raised... imagine that happening in the states.
The professor strike has continued now for over 80 days and as the following article from haaretz.com explains... a decision--some decision is necessary in the next 48 hours or this semester is going to be a rather different Israeli experience. By no means, are we assured that the Overseas Students Program (OSP) will be effected--- we have a different set of teachers, etc etc... but the who atmosphere here at BGU-- at any university in Israel may be very different than expected....
