A fifth member of the Council for Higher Education (MALAG) has resigned in protest of the recently approved law allowing gender-separate study tracks in advanced degrees, according to a report by Yoeli Barim. The resignation brings the total to five, following the initial four resignations reported earlier today at 11:03 Jerusalem time. The resignations were submitted to President Isaac Herzog and Education Minister Yoav Kisch. The law, which permits gender-segregated programs in master's and doctoral degrees, has drawn widespread opposition from academic and civil society groups. The fifth member's name has not been disclosed, and it remains unclear whether further resignations are expected.
