Meir met with President Nixon in Washington last week. Her appearance at Brandeis follows several speeches to Jewish groups in New York.
The university will grant Meir an LL.D. at a special 1 p.m. convocation to celebrate the 25th anniversary of both Brandeis and the State of Israel.
"We expect that everything should come off very smoothly," a Brandeis official said yesterday. As a foreign chief of state, Meir will receive Secret Service as well as police protection.
The May 15th Coalition, an association of seven local radical groups, has called for a "peaceful, legal, non-obstructive picket line" at the entrance to Brandeis in protest of what it calls Israel's "arrogance and total disregard for human life."
The Spartacist League, a Trotskyist organization which also supports today's demonstration, announced yesterday that an anonymous letter had warned it that if it interfered with the Brandeis ceremony in any way, "this demonstration will be your last."
