Ono Academic College (in Hebrew: הקריה האקדמית אונו) is a private college located in Kiryat Ono, Israel with over 18,000 students.[1][2] With its vision of decreasing economic and cultural gaps in Israeli society,[3] the college attracts Druze, Bedouin, Palestinians, Ethiopian-Israelis, ultra-Orthodox Jews, and special needs students.[4][5][6][7]

History

Ono Academic College was founded in 1995 by Ranan Hartman,[8][9] son of rabbi and philosopher David Hartman,[3] with the goal of opening up the country's higher education system to populations that are perceived as marginalized.[2][10][11]

The college was initially affiliated with the University of Manchester before becoming an Israeli school fully accredited by the Council for Higher Education in Israel.[12]Starting out in a single trailer with 100 law and business students, enrollment has risen to 18,000 students at five campuses around the country: Kiryat Ono, Jerusalem, Haifa, Netanya and Or Yehuda. The school offers 47 programs of study.[13]

OAC's satellite campuses in Or Yehuda and Jerusalem offer programs geared toward the Haredi Jewish population, allowing men and women to attend classes on different days. The college also has a substantial enrollment of Ethiopian-Israelis.[14][15]

International cooperation

Ono Academic College and the Center for Israeli Legal Studies at Columbia Law School co-host an annual legal conference focused on Israeli legal issues at the Columbia University campus in New York City.[17][18]

In June 2017, the Shalom Comparative Legal Research Center at Ono Academic College hosted a week-long legal seminar for undergraduate students focused on labor law, intellectual property, equality, and the challenges that innovative technologies pose to the law at Yale Law School, New York University School of Law, and Fordham University School of Law.[19]

In late 2017, the Shalom Comparative Legal Research Center at Ono Academic College collaborated with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva and the Swiss Center for Comparative Research in Lausanne to organize a three-day seminar on innovations in intellectual property law.[20]

Multicultural projects

In an attempt to integrate students from different population groups, the college offers a creative writing project in Arabic and Hebrew, a weekly phone-in program to establish rapport between secular and ultra-Orthodox women, and a talk program led by Jewish and Muslim religious leaders to discuss ways of bridging the conflict.

Controversy

Ono College has been criticized for its policy of gender segregation for students from the ultra-orthodox community. According to Haaretz newspaper, Jews and Arabs also study separately.[21]The college has also been criticized for budgetary irregularities and inflated salaries. [22] [23] [24][25]In 2019, the College instituted a recovery program that reduced teaching hours, lowered hourly payments and cut administrative personnel.[26]
