GW med school to re-evaluate exchanges with Al-Quds Univ.

(JNS.org) Student exchanges between the George Washington University (GW) School of Medicine and Health Sciences and the Palestinian Al-Quds University, which have not materialized since being offered, “would need to be evaluated” following the recent Nazi-style rally on the Al-Quds campus in Jerusalem.

“In 2008, the [GW medical] school and Al-Quds University offered students the opportunity to study at either school. There have been no student exchanges between the schools, and given the reporting we have seen about recent events, exchanges would need to be evaluated,” Lisa Anderson, media relations coordinator for the GW medical school, told JNS.org.

Brandeis University and Syracuse University both suspended their Al-Quds partnerships after the Nazi-style rally, while Bard College in New York said it would maintain its partnership with the Palestinian school.
