An investigation published this week in The Jewish Daily Forward found that two staff members at the university’s high-school campus who allegedly abused students during the late 1970s and early 1980s had been allowed to leave without the incidents’ being reported to the authorities. Both rabbis have denied the allegations, but on Thursday, Yeshiva’s president, Richard M. Joel, said the actions described were “heinous and inexcusable acts.” He added that the university had since introduced policies to “assure a safe environment.”
