My Rehovot Reader Responds on Weizmann Institute: Criminality or Irregularity?

Discussion matter: Criminality or Irregularity? Israel State Comptroller Finds Weizmann Institute Fools Funding Bodies. My Rehovot (10 February 2007) [FullText]

"This article will make everyone more anti-Dati and more anti-Yeshiva. Your intentional distortion is obvious to all. Students at Weizmann work incredibly long hours. No one will believe your slurs. No one gets “inflated salaries”. There are no “luxurious offices”, and who gets cars?

It is apparent that the Yeshiva world resents public support for medical research as opposed to Yeshiva studies. You should use your efforts to educate the public of the value of Yeshiva learning, instead of showing that Yeshiva learning produces people who just waste their time on slander. You have definitely hurt your own cause."
