No Israeli Professors because of Egyptian Laws?
Reader comment on item: The American University in Cairo v. Israel

"[R]umors have surfaced that the university had fired an Egyptian professor so that it could hire an Israeli professor . . . [T]hese rumors are completely false . . . [T]he university . . . is [] governed by Egyptian laws that govern visa issuance and work restrictions."

Is it just me, or is the dean arguing that no Israeli professor was hired because of Egyptian work restrictions?
