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 :) Ira.
