S. African university to stop working with Israeli university unless conditions are met

JTA - The University of Johannesburg's faculty Senate voted to sever a longstanding relationship with an Israeli university unless certain conditions are met.

Voting on the university's relationship with Ben-Gurion University, the Senate required that the two institutions amend their joint Memorandum of Understanding to include Palestinian universities, according to a statement released Sept. 29 by the University of Johannesburg.

Additionally, the South African university said it would not engage in any activities with Ben-Gurion that have direct or indirect military implications. more
