The President of Tel Aviv University, Professor Ariel Porat, announced on Tuesday that a student facing eviction from university dormitories due to a sticker advocating for the return of Palestinian refugees will be allowed to remain. Porat stated that the decision to evict was made by an external entity, a business partner of the university, which had "completely exceeded its authority." He emphasized that the student "will not be expelled from the dormitories," adding that it would take a day or two to clarify the situation with the external body.
The initial report, published by the newspaper "Haaretz," indicated that the student was on the verge of expulsion because of the sticker. Porat's response directly contradicted this, stating, "It never happened."
