Living together on multicultural campus: Student’s Perspectives in Israeli Higher Education Institutions
This survey examined attitudes, perceptions, and experiences regarding studying in multicultural academic institutions among Jewish and Arab students in various universities and colleges across Israel. The research provided response to numerous issues related to studying in multicultural academic institutions that were not examined at all by the local scientific research, such as the promotion of universal values by the institutions or the practical consequences of studying in them. It also provided a response to issues that were examined in a relatively limited way in the past, such as perceptions of academic climate in campus, experiences of racism and discrimination, and perceptions of distance, foreignness and alienation inside campuses.
