On February 23, 2016, the Associated Press carried an interview with Zyad Shehata, an Egyptian student who completed Haick’s course. “Some people told me to remove this certificate from my résumé,” said Shehata. “They said that I might face some problems. I have no interest in whether it is an Israeli university or not, but I’m very proud of Professor Haick and I see him as a leader.”
