I think the more pragmatic and sensible solution is to arrange lecture halls
outside the university - such as IBM Haifa and such places. We want to show
we are pragmatic techies looking for para-political solutions and not
willing to get dragged into a political war. I believe since Hamakor did not
step in, Guy Shefer had started collecting money, I think that money should
go to hiring a hall rather than buying Richard's freedom in the form of
plane tickets. It would also probably be cheaper :)
