Weizmann's Annual Assembly of the Board of Governors Has No Authority to Down the Corruption at the Major Israeli Science Institution

Rehovot, Israel (3 November 2007) - "A Duet between Science and Music" concert welcomed today night distinguished friends of the Weizmann Institute of Science...



...gathered in Rehovot for the 59th Annual General Meeting of the Board of Governors . The Opening Gala included preceding the concert cocktail dinner and the welcoming remarks by Professor Daniel Zajfman.



Event participants came to the Wix auditorium by taxis



...and bus using organized transportation from Tel Aviv hotels...



...while the Institute major entrance remained closed for visitors (including those who purchased an annual Institutuional Gardens pass)



...and had apparently limited traffic.



Weizmann Annual Assembly of Governors and their accompanying persons will stay at Weizmann campus for four days, through Wednesday, November 7, and will attend a number of scheduled events, as presented in the Meeting programme.



According to the programme, the first "members only" event of the Governors forum 2007 was "Appointments and Promotions Committee" gathering at the 4th Floor Ayala Conference Room, Stone Administration Building (Friday, 2 November 2007, 10:30AM). Academically speaking, this is the most mistyfying event, a non studied thus far decision making substance, that could well yield the appointment for WIS Professorship far from being outstanding former students or friends of the present top ranking institutional professors, and a discrimination of Women-scientists.

Sadly, the Programme of the Weizmann governing body does not address any corruption issue or academic ethics breach at the major Israeli Science Institute, or any hot international Science policy issues (such as Open Access to scholar/science literature, widely advocated for at Israeli arena by an independent Israel Scholar, based in Rehovot non-profit educational organization).
