5. Ahhh. Still, no big changes

Hebrew University of Jerusalem dropped to 59, Technion went up one to 77, and Weizmann went up by one to 92.

So...

Not sure what in the world this has to do with I/P, other than some very weak attempts to tape BDS to it somehow.

2. For the record

Saudi Arabia placed one each in the top 200, 300, 400, and 500, and Iran placed one in the top 500. So good on them.
