More everyday academic apartheid in Israel

There's a grimly fascinating account in AIC about the mundane nature of Israeli apartheid in academia. The story is how a private school closed down an accountancy course because Palestinians were registering for it. What's interesting is that this decision was taken for financial, not ideological reasons - Israeli Jews would shun a college which was considered to have too many Arabs. It shows the depths of apartheid throughout the society.
