What does Professor Moshe Zimmerman think about it?
Read here:-
Professor Moshe Zimmerman, a historian who was not present at the meeting, called his experience with such programs "very bitter." He said that in another special program for the Israel Defense Forces command college, students missed one of his classes because they were serving at roadblocks. Zimmerman said at the time he would "prefer that if someone misses my class, it is because he is sitting in jail because he did not want to sit at a roadblock."
The commander of the military college demanded that Zimmerman not continue to teach the course. When his demand was not met, the army pulled out of the course and the university offered another instead. "This shows that these are not purely academic programs," Zimmerman said, but that the security institution can force the hand of the university, and by cooperating with the military, the university loses its academic freedom.
What a putz. Just the opposite.
He himself is not being purely academic and objective beacuse he permitted his own personal political/ideological opinions to override the academic elements of the soldeir's absence. He intervened.
P.S. And who/what is Zimmerman? Read on. And on.
