Does she have a BA?
editAccording to Haaretz on 1/3/07[1]
The comments come after revelations that Tartman, the Tourism-Minister designate, does not hold a bachelor's degree from Bar-Ilan University or a master's degree from a Jerusalem institute, despite claims on her curriculum vitae.

Yesterday, when it became clear that she also lacks a bachelor's degree, there were those who suggested she bring up that traffic accident again and argue that the blow she suffered, affecting "her ability to concentrate and remember," explains her confusion and lack of orientation on her academic degrees.
The evidence of her having a degree is from the Jerusalem post article which says
To set the record straight, Tartman said her first degree was from a continuing education school run by Touro College, and connected to Bar-Ilan University. She said she had almost completed a second degree at Touro, but never did because of the accident.
There is a photo of her holding up a certificate.
According to the Gurdian [2]
But Wednesday, the two Israeli universities where she said she studied - Hebrew University and Bar-Ilan University - said she was never enrolled. Her bachelor's degree apparently came from the Israeli branch of New York-based Touro College, an institution of lesser standing, at a time when such foreign branches were not under government supervision, Army Radio reported.
Can someone with knowledge of Israeli accademia help clear up the confusion here? ابو علي 09:57, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
The answer
edit- The photo in this article (you need to click on the top one to get the full picture) is a close up of the degree, which clearly states she has a Bachelor of Science from the Touro College International School of Management in Business Management and marketing.
