		Yeshiva University, defending itself against a lawsuit by an Israeli religious academy with which it severed ties, is countersuing the Israeli school, alleging that it "utterly refused to protect" Y.U.'s exchange students from a rabbi affiliated with the academy.
		The Israeli school, Derech Etz Chaim yeshiva in Jerusalem, accused the university in a federal suit filed last spring of "disparagement" and breach of contract for severing ties based on allegedly false concerns about the school and the controversial rabbi, Matis Weinberg.
		The university claims in its countersuit that when one Derech Etz Chaim student complained to Katz of "sexually inappropriate conduct" by Weinberg, Katz did not investigate the complaint or report it to governmental authorities, Y.U. or the student's parents.

	Yeshiva Degree Saga Still Unresolved, Simmering - Features
		In Melchior's absence, two Yeshiva graduates, Sacknovitz and David Debow, testified at the hearing, which concluded with a call by the committees for one body to evaluate degrees from foreign universities, circumventing the current system that recognizes degrees based on rules set forth by the Civil Service Commission and the Finance Ministry.
		Other Yeshiva administrators asserted the value of traditional study of Jewish texts, claiming it is underrated in terms of its contribution toward educational development, and insinuated that the mode of study was certainly deserving of university credit.
		He worries that if Yeshiva was to reverse its credit policy, more high school students considering Yeshiva for college would not only forgo studying in Israel, but also renege on their plans to matriculate at Yeshiva.

	Yeshiva University Catching Flak For Dropping Old Hebrew Slogan
		Yeshiva University is under fire for dropping its longtime motto —; Torah u-Madda — and replacing it with the non-sectarian slogan "Bring wisdom to life."
		For both the university and the movement, the motto reflected a commitment to studying and engaging with both the religious and secular realms.
		Yeshiva's new logo — a simple design of two flames rising up from the university's initials — does not include the traditional motto or any other religious symbols that had marked earlier Y.U. emblems.

		First, a university's housing policy could not be facially discriminatory on the basis of sexual orientation if the criterion used to determine whether housing was awarded operated to exclude both heterosexual and homosexual students while, at the same time, conferred housing to a distinct group, also comprised of both homosexual and heterosexual students.
		Noting that plaintiffs were offered and accepted university housing, the trial court further held that a cause of action under a disparate impact theory did not lie because plaintiffs' ability to obtain housing was not adversely affected insofar as they were given housing as individuals.
		2 The complaint alleges, at paragraph 9, that university- owned housing is restricted to "Yeshiva students, their spouses and children." Presumably, a single parent, regardless of sexual orientation, would be eligible to reside in university-owned housing with his or her child.

	JEWSWEEK - From Hillel with love (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Yeshiva University stands behind its motto "Torah U'Madda" (literally translated as "Torah and secular studies"), and all three of its previous presidents have been living embodiments of that theme, being rabbinic leaders as well as accomplished scholars.
		And RIETS without Yeshiva University as its body is but a ghost." In this vein, the candidacy of Dov Zakheim, U.S. Undersecretary of Defense, inspired heated opposition, culminating in a student rally of 100 students strong (on a campus of not many more than 1000 students).
		As of late, Yeshiva has felt somewhat under fire from organizations like Rabbi Saul Berman's Edah, which emphasizes tolerance and outreach towards the non-Orthodox and schools like Yeshivat Chovevei Torah, which is headed by Rabbi Avi Weiss in conformity with his vision of Open Orthodoxy.

The ruling did not address the fact that lesbians and gay men cannot legally marry in New York or any other state.
		While political and legal pressure has convinced many universities to adopt inclusive housing policies, the ACLU challenge against Yeshiva is the first in the country to reach a court.

		Joel would help develop future leaders of the university, so the roles of rosh yeshiva and president could again be merged in the future.

		Simply put, a university which closes its campus to military access, according to the amendments, jeopardizes its ability to qualify for a number of federal financial assistance programs which provide aid directly to students, specifically federal loan and grant programs.
		If the three areas of funding were to only be taken away from the law school, Hirt speculated that the estimated loss of no more than $10,000 would probably tilt the scale in favor of GALLSA's request, at least in his opinion.
		Yeshiva University's officials, however, maintain that it is possible, under the Solomon Amendments, to disqualify the entire university from receipt of these funds making the stakes too high.
