What were the conditions that encouraged the opening of the civic university in Tel-Aviv? What is the part of public opinion in reshaping the higher education system? This article explores the relationship between different interpretive concepts on institutions of higher education in the first decade of Israel's existence. Analysis of the media discourse around the foundation of the university in Tel-Aviv, points out that it is an essential context for understanding the formation of public opinion. More specifically, it helps to understand the paths as an innovative idea spread from marginal and insignificant newspapers to become a dominant strategy that was adopted by the municipality. By this we want to emphasize and to clarify the important and crucial role of the civic society that was raised against the power of the government and hegemonic university

| Summary/Abstract |
This article analyses the reactions of Israel’s academic elite to the 1977 political upheaval. Some of Israel’s leading scholars in humanities and social sciences framed the new political situation as a grave ideological and moral crisis, reflecting the triumph of fundamentalist, nationalist, emotional and messianic trends over the rational, moderate, responsible political tradition that they had favoured and claimed to represent. The political change triggered a heated debate about the role of intellectuals in the ideological rehabilitation of the Labour party, as well as on the critical function of universities in the political arena. In the wake of what it perceived as a sharp deviation from the proper development of the traditional Zionist programme, the academic elite came to be perceived, in its own eyes as well as those of the public, as a faithful representative of the ‘old regime’, as an opponent to the new governmental elite and, for the first time, as an ideological opposition to Israel’s political hegemony.
