Knesset Member Alex Miller, chairman of the Knesset's Education Committee, says "it is absurd that lecturers at Ben-Gurion University's Department of Politics and Government have signed petitions calling for a boycott against Israel.

"An Israeli professor cannot promote a boycott against the State's academia and students cannot be graded according to the lecturer's ideology," Miller said during an event in Beersheba.
