History
[edit | edit source]Reichmann University was founded in 1994 by Uriel Reichman as the Israeli private college Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya (IDC Herzliya, Hebrew: המרכז הבינתחומי הרצליה).[4]
The campus is located in the city of Herzliya, six miles north of the city of Tel Aviv, on the grounds of a former British Air Force base. It served the first squadron of the Israeli air force for three months in Israel's War of Independence.[5]
In 2009, Alpha Epsilon Pi opened the first college fraternity in Israel at the IDC.[6]
In 2012, the college attracted controversy for the School of Sustainability being funded by Israel's major polluting companies.[7]
In 2018, the college was authorized by the state council to run several doctoral courses but was not permitted to brand itself as a university.[3] In 2021, the college was permitted to brand itself as a university and changed its name to Reichman University after its founder.[8]
The school does not receive direct government funding.[3]
