Palestinian univ president denounces U.K. boycott of Israeli academia 22.5.2005 \| 09:24 Tamara Traubman With Arnon Regular Prof. Sari Nusseibeh, president of Al-Quds University in East Jerusalem, has joined Prof. Menachem Magidor, president of Hebrew University, to denounce the academic boycott of Israeli universities. Nusseibeh and Magidor issued a joint declaration last Thursday urging the end of the boycott declared by Britain's Association of University Teachers (AUT) and signed a cooperation agreement. "Our position is based upon the belief that it is through cooperation based on mutual respect, rather than boycotts or discrimination, that our common goals can be achieved," the statement says. "Our disaffection with, and condemnation of, acts of academic boycotts is predicated on the principles of academic freedom, human rights and equality between nations and among individuals." The AUT's plans to meet this week to reconsider its controversial decision to bar Israeli faculty members of Bar-Ilan and Haifa universities from taking part in academic conferences and joint research. Nusseibeh said the calls of Palestinian intellectuals for a boycott reflected the deterioration of the situation between Israel and the Palestinians. "I don't believe the boycott is the way to go," he said. "I believe peace must be built on the bridge between two civil societies."
