Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal adds a new chapter to the Student Rights Law granting affirmative action in the conditions of admission, registration and studies at institutions of higher education to discharged soldiers who served as combat soldiers. The preference applies to various fields of study, special study tracks, budgets and the setting of criteria and scoring. The proposal states that this preference will not be considered discrimination, and that combat soldiers will be considered a unique population. The necessary adjustments, including budgetary ones, will be carried out by the Council for Higher Education and the institutions recognized by it, in order to allow this preference starting from the 5783 academic year.
