The University of Haifa will be awarding an honorary doctorate to Nobel Laureate Prof. Dan Shechtman at the 40th Meeting of the Board of Governors, which is being held on 3-5 June. The award is in recognition of his breakthrough scientific achievements, his reminding us that loyalty to truth will ultimately defeat critics, and the great honor that he has brought the State of Israel.
A new survey from the University of Haifa has found that 40% of Arab youth in Israel were personally willing to volunteer with the civil service in 2011, compared to 53% in 2009. It has also shown a drop in public support for the civil service.
