Ben Gurion University has closed its Bible department

SURPRISE SHUTDOWN: Dropping Bible studies is highly problematic - opinion. Ben Gurion University closed the Bible department this academic year without making a public announcement (MORDECHAI COGAN, Jerusalem Post).

I don't know the back story here, but this is bad news. I hope ben Gurion will reconsider its decision.
