A major dispute between the administration of Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and the teachers in the faculty of architecture deepened here-today, with the faculty members threatening mass resignations and the administration hinting they may be dismissed.
The argument is over a proposal by the administration to split the faculty of architecture into two sections and to appoint a new dean of students. Members of the faculty staged a one-day strike yesterday in opposition to the plan, and were supported by many students. The Technion Senate today strongly criticized the walk-out and warned that “if the teachers repeat this step, the connection between them and Technion may be severed. ” The teachers then said they were considering “collective resignations. “
