By JPOST.COM STAFF
The 2008-2009 academic year will open as planned on Sunday after government officials and university leaders came to an agreement regarding the year's budget.
Fears that the year would not open on time emerged after the Council of University Presidents threatened to strike until a solution was met.
The agreement was made during a meeting between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Finance Minister Ronnie Bar-On, Education Minister Yuli Tamir and the university presidents on Thursday afternoon.
