Haifa University doesn't just get mad - it might get even.

Haifa University sends enraged letter to AUT

The University of Haifa sent a letter Tuesday to the General-Secretary of the Association of University Teachers in Britain, Sally Hunt, informing her through its London-based law firm, Mishcon de Reya, that the university has been defamed by the boycott resolution passed against it by the AUT....

Haifa University, the letter concludes, "is entitled to seek damages, a retraction, and an undertaking against further publication of the defamations."

The university will await the outcome of a special meeting to be held on May 26, in the hope that the delegates will vote to overturn the boycott.
