The American University of Beirut has a new member of the Board of Trustees: "Carlos Ghosn, the president of the French-Japanese car manufacturer Renault Nissan, is expected to visit Israel on January 21, and take part in the inauguration event of the Israeli electric car enterprise. Members are now selected in Israel. There are protests on the AUB campus but I doubt that the spoiled brats of Beirut will mount a serious challenge. (thanks Daniel)
