Fight against political abuse of Israeli academia and maintenance of freedom of speech
The recent action by the minister of science, Mr. Akounis, who dismissed from the governing board of the German-Israeli Foundation (GIF) a member due to her opinions on matters that are not relevant to the academic activities, is a serious breach of the separation between political level and academia, and a direct threat to freedom of speech.
We will not accept that nominations to academic committees and other managerial positions in academia will from now on be conditional on the opinions of the members of academia on issues outside the academic activities.
We will not allow this to happen, and will fight against political witch-hunt and curbing of freedom of speech.
We therefore demand:
- The minister of science will return Prof. Amitai to the GIF board, as was recommended by the Attorney General.
- The minister of science will declare that he will refrain from any future political meddling in the nomination for professional academic committees. If he refuses, we demand that the GIF research grants are removed from his authority.
Until these actions are taken, we will view the GIF research foundation as politically tainted, and will refuse to cooperate with it:
- We will not submit any grant proposals to the GIF.
- We will not accept the role of reviewers or committee members for the GIF.
