The Committee of University Heads has joined the petition to the High Court of Justice against the law permitting gender-separate study tracks in advanced degrees, according to N12.

The Committee of University Heads has joined the legal challenge to the gender segregation law in higher education, filing a petition to the High Court of Justice, according to N12. The committee warned that the law 'pulls the ground from under the basic infrastructure of higher education' and would harm scientific excellence and the status of Israeli academia. The law, which permits gender-separate study tracks in universities, was approved by the Knesset earlier this month. A previous petition was filed by ten faculty members and six Haredi women, as The Zioneer reported. The High Court has not yet set a hearing date.
