> I have written to both the Dean and Rector at Haifa University and got the
standard reply.  Do we have any more information about their allegations
against Avraham Oz?  They cite that his dismissal  'has to do with the
reckless recruitment of friends and family members in violation of faculty
or departmental hiring and budgetary procedures' adding that 'the theater
department and its theatrical productions are not the personal property of
anyone.'

> Do we have evidience that this is a convenient cover for shutting out
Avraham Oz?  Is this external committee packed with his oponebts?  Do his
departmental colleagues back him?
