Income for Israeli Universities Last Year: $2.068 Billion
by G. Kleiman

Income for Israel's institutions of higher learning grew 2.2 percent last year to $2.068 billion according to a recent report. A ranking of the country's top twenty institutions by Dunn & Bradstreet shows the Hebrew University continues to lead with $458 million, followed by the University of Tel Aviv with $378 million. In third place is the University of Be'er Sheva with $270 million.

Income from tuition rose by 5.1 percent to $409.9 million. Government funding increased 0.5 percent to $933 million and income from other sources grew by 3.4 percent to $604.4 million. The number of students increased by 2.8 percent to 202,000 and the number of permanent staff workers decreased by 1.5 percent to 6,891.

Less than one-tenth of the Hebrew University's income derives from tuition payments, while the University of Tel Aviv posted the largest amount of income from tuition--$67.4 million.

Of the 202,000 university-level students nationwide, 53,000 attended universities and 68,000 attended colleges.

The Hebrew University also leads the ranking for 2004, followed by the University of Tel Aviv. In last place is the Ort Brauda College.

The ranking includes the following parameters: total income, tuition, government funding, other sources of income, the number of students, the number of permanent staff workers and the number of degrees the university awards.

The largest enrollment is at the Open University with 38,400 students, followed by the University of Tel Aviv with 27,500 students, the Hebrew University with 24,000 students and the University of Be'er Sheva with 16,500 students.

At the top five institutions--the Hebrew University, the University of Tel Aviv, Ben-Gurion University, the Technion and Bar-Ilan University--government funding represents more than 50 percent of total income.
