Dear friends,
We assume most of you have heard that the Israel Prize Committee for Sociology has decided to award the prestigious prize to our colleague, Prof. Eva Illouz from the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. Minister of Education Kisch announced that he refuses to grant her the prize due to a petition she signed a few years ago.
Position of the President, Rector, and Head of the Senior Academic Staff Organization of the Hebrew University in Light of the Risk of a Constitutional Crisis
Dear Faculty and Administrative Staff and Students,
The second semester of the academic year 2024-2025 begins tomorrow (Thursday), still with unbearable national and academic challenges before us.
Dear faculty members,
The HUJI taskforce combatting academic boycott, led by Prof. Netta Barak-Corren, is continuing its work (documentation and follow up of cases of academic boycott, assistance and consultance re: coping with academic boycott, answers to frequently asked questions and criticism of Hebrew University, and more) and is here to help and assist if needed.
Members of the Hebrew University Community,
Dear friends,
Tomorrow, Monday, December 16th, the university will launch the new student system, Orbit. This new system replaces the student systems that were established decades ago and will bring the university into the 21st century in terms of the user experience for students and applicants.
Student teams in the faculties are transitioning to a new online platform with a single, more accurate database, stronger infrastructure, and improved development potential.
Dear Faculty,
Here is a link to the recording of the information gathering that took place today on Mount Scopus.
Sincerely,
Tamir
Dear academic and administrative staff and students,
The new academic year is set to begin this week, while our country is still engaged in a difficult war. Over 100 hostages have yet to return home to their families, tens of thousands of northern residents have not yet returned to their homes, more than a thousand of our students are still serving in the reserve duty, and many others have only recently finished their military service or are soon to be called up again.
Good evening,
In solidarity with all research universities across Israel, the Hebrew University will participate in tomorrow’s national shutdown (Monday, 2.9), calling for the release of all abductees.
The university will suspend all activities tomorrow, with the exception of exams, to avoid impacting students serving in the reserves.
