Arutz-7: PA Ousts Dr. Sari Nusseibeh
The Palestinian Authority (PA) has decided to oust Dr. Sari Nusseibeh as the president of Al-Quds University, the London-based Al-Quds el-Arabi reports.
The move seems to be the result of pressure exerted by “Palestinian political and academic circles” following Nusseibeh’s decision to sign a cooperation agreement with Hebrew University at a time when British academics are working to strengthen their boycott against Israeli universities.
