Israeli University Leaders Thank Americans Who Oppose Boycott

The presidents of Israel's universities have issued a joint letter to the presidents of American colleges and universities that have opposed the boycott of Israeli universities endorsed by the American Studies Association and others. "We do not take for granted the solidarity and support of the heads of the leading, most important universities in the United States and throughout the entire academic world," the letter says. "We both thank you for your courage and for your steadfast adherence to the principles of free and independent scientific thought."
