Higher education budget cuts halved
As budget negotiations between ministers continue into Wednesday evening, the Treasury reaches an agreement on proposed cuts to Israel’s public universities.
In negotiations between Treasury officials, the Council for Higher Education and the National Union of Israeli Students, the government agrees to shrink its planned cut to the higher education budget by more than half, from NIS 263 million to some NIS 123 million, and to invest an additional NIS 120 million in student dorms and NIS 20 million for new university scholarships and community programming.
