50. Letter to Israel Authorities
about Restrictions on International Academics Working in Palestinian
Universities
The American Anthropological Association, American Political
Science Association, Middle East Studies Association, National Women’s Studies
Association, and Society of Architectural Historians issued a joint letter to
Israel authorities asking them to clarify lawful procedures for issuing entry
visas and work permits for international academics working in the West Bank and
Gaza.
Arbitrary policies regarding visa renewals and re-entry visas
threaten the ability of Palestinian universities to hire foreign nationals, and
disrupts faculty recruitment, teaching, curriculum planning, program
development, committee work, and supervision of theses. Amongst the immediate
challenges facing foreign nationals this fall are changing documentation
requirements without prior notification, lengthy visa processing periods that
force applicants to overstay valid visas or require them to leave the country,
shortened and arbitrary duration of visas, restrictions on ports of entry/exit,
travel restrictions within the West Bank, and re-entry obstacles that prevent
foreign nationals from traveling to participate in academic conferences.
