Dear Faculty Members,
Upon returning from the Passover break, I am happy to report on some updates:
1. We have added a few programs, in Computer Sciences and in Mathematics, in addition to the ones that were added in the Humanities and the Social Sciences in which students can start their studies in the Spring. The number of applicants was relatively low, but we plan to continue this policy to further explore its benefits.

Dear Colleagues,
1. As already reported, we have reached an agreement with the government that ensures our financial stability and provides an opportunity for growth. No layoffs are required. In fact, the Plan will enable us to increase the number of our academic faculty members, from 950 today to 1,070 within seven years; and it requires us to keep the number of our administrative staff at its current level of 1,764 positions.
