NTNU rector Digernes has been largely silent about the call for boycott, which the university board is to discuss on November 12th. Both Haaretz and Jerusalem Post have tried to tease a comment on the issue out of him, but rector Digernes has remained as silent as the sphinx. Apart from publicly endorsing a highly biased seminar series on Israel, organized by the same NTNU academics who issued the call for boycott, Digernes has hardly voiced any comment on the issue of boycott at all.
Rector Digernes now says to Adresseavisen, a Norwegian daily servicing the Trondheim area (NTNU home turf), that he is asking the board not to boycott Israel.
The university board is to decide upon whether or not to boycott on November 12th. We now know that both chairwoman Marit Arnstad and rector Torbjørn Digernes are opposed to the boycott. This does not mean they nays will carry the vote. For that they need the support of five more “jurors“.

BAGHDAD – Suicide attackers detonated three wheels bombs in quick transmission near foreign embassies in Baghdad on Sunday, slaying more than 40 people in coordinated strikes that Iraqi officials said were intended to disrupt efforts to way a modern government.
The bombings followed the execution-style killings of 24 villagers in a Sunni size two days earlier, a pierce in violence that suggests insurgents are seizing on the political uncertainty after the recent poll to look over to destabilize the rural area as U.S. troops get to leave. No clear champion emerged from the Strut 7 vote.
Sunday’s explosions went off within minutes of each other, starting by after 11 a.m. Everyone struck approaching the Iranian Embassy and two others hit an neighbourhood that houses various politic missions, including the Egyptian Consulate and the German and Spanish embassies. It was not immediately known whether perceptive staff were centre of the victims.
Authorities said they foiled two other attacks aimed at sensitive targets beside stopping the would-be bombers’ vehicles and defusing the explosives.
