Haaretz: University studies to resume Thursday as 41-day strike ends
University and college students will return to their studies Thursday ending a 41-day strike, one of the longest in the history of student protests in Israel.
Representatives of student organizations ended the strike after signing a controversial agreement with the government, which recognizes the students as a community whose consent the government should seek regarding tuition changes.
However, the agreement does not promise the students a veto over tuition hikes, and also requires that universities and colleges implement reforms outlined by the Shochat Committee before funds cut from their budgets are returned.
