[Ynet News] Yaheli Moran Zelikovich - The Spanish Housing Ministry disqualified Ariel University Center of Samaria from competing in the finals of the Solar Decathlon, an international competition between university architecture departments to design and build a self-sufficient house using solar power. The decision was made by the Spanish government based on the fact that the college is located in the West Bank. The college had been awarded a 100,000 Euro grant by the competition's organizers to build a model house for the final competition. Ariel University Center responded: "The anti-academic decision harms 10,000 students in the university center, including 500 Arab students who study at the institution, in particular the Jewish and Arab students studying together in the school of architecture."
