The summary of the recommendation reads as follows:
concerning the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
- Based on a number of legal documents and other national and international rulings by advisory councils and human rights organisations, we conclude that the State of Israel and its defence and security apparatus are guilty of serious and systematic human rights violations, both in Gaza and in the occupied Palestinian territories.
- We further conclude that the Hebrew University directly and specifically contributes to these serious and systematic human rights violations and is potentially guilty of violations of academic integrity. The committee therefore recommends that the cooperation with the Hebrew University be subject to a number of conditions, and that, until such time as these conditions are honoured, this cooperation be suspended.
concerning Tel Aviv University
- Based on a number of legal documents and other national and international rulings by advisory councils and human rights organisations, we conclude that the State of Israel and its defence and security apparatus are guilty of serious and systematic human rights violations, both in Gaza and in the occupied Palestinian territories.
- We further conclude that Tel Aviv University directly and specifically contributes to these serious and systematic human rights violations and is potentially guilty of violations of academic integrity. The committee therefore recommends that the cooperation with Tel Aviv University be subject to a number of conditions, and that, until such time as these conditions are honoured, this cooperation be suspended.
Meeting
On Monday 7 April, from 3.45 to 4.45 pm, staff and students are invited to share their ideas about the recommendation with the Executive Board. Staff and students wishing to attend can register here. Make sure you come on time. Once the programme starts, your seat will be released to any other participants. Large bags are not allowed inside.
You will be granted access to room CC4 in the Lecture Hall Complex on presentation of your student card or employee pass, and your u/s/z number will be registered for you to be assigned a seat, as long as there is space.
If you are a student or employee, and you are unable to attend the meeting, you can submit your thoughts or advice via a feedback form. The ideas and opinions of students and staff on issues concerning international partnerships and the dilemmas involved were previously shared with the Advisory Committee through the outcomes of a participatory process.
Participational bodies
Before taking a decision on this recommendation, the Executive Board will also talk to the deans and the broader university participational bodies, and in view of this particular subject, the Board will, at the request of the UGV, ask for the UGV's advice on the proposed decision.
Decision
Once these various discussions have taken place, the Executive Board will formulate a proposed decision as soon as possible, publish it on www.ru.nl, and elaborate on it during an additional meeting. This will be followed by a recommendation from the UGV, after which the Executive Board will take a final decision.
