Opening of the 2024/2025 Academic Year —
Accommodations for Students Following the ‘Swords of Iron’ War
Dear students,
Ahead of the opening of the academic year on November 3, 2024, we present important information about the outline of the 2024/2025 year, including accommodations and facilitations for all students. This includes specific support for students on active military reserve or security forces duty, their spouses with children under 13, students wounded during the ‘Swords of Iron’ War or whose first-degree relatives were wounded, as well as those evacuated from their homes in the north and south of the country.
We are aware of the hardships entailed by the ongoing war and wish to express our heartfelt support to you, hope for the return of the hostages, and the speedy recovery of the wounded, as we extend our deepest sympathies to those whose loved ones were murdered or killed in action. We recognize the tremendous contribution of military and security forces service men and women in regular or reserve duty and their families. We are committed to continuing to do all we can to assist all of our students to succeed in their studies in this challenging year.
We would like to clarify that the outline described here is an addition to the Student Right Regulations (Accommodations for Students in Military Reserve Service), 2012, as detailed in the Feinberg Graduate School’s Military Reserve Service Procedure (published in Hebrew only), and to specific teaching committee accommodations, as detailed in Appendix A below.
To enable us to support you and to arrange for payment due for military reserve days, we’d like to remind you to update Dana Yanay, the Feinberg Graduate School’s Military Reserve Coordinator and The Head of Administration, with regards to your reserve service status as soon as possible and submit Form 3010 at its conclusion.
Please find attached the relevant documents and information.
Hoping for quieter days ahead.
Prof. Gilad Perez
FGS, Dean
