If not, what’s the big deal? We all are made frum the same stuff. No one’s forcing you to change, or even question your gender identity. There is no “evil” here.

ps: I have never like tenure before, but this is probably the best defense of the tenure system I have read

YU is obviously stuck in a bad position due to their lack of vigilance. This guy/gal would liklely have been canned if not for the laws that protect his/her rights. At this point, it would be “suicide” for them to try firing someone knowing that they would be sued and lose funding.

As I previously mentioned, I didn’t know about the gays or goys, I only read about them in other comments to this blog. Although lesbianism is technically considered “biah”, it is still 100% assur. I can’t imagine a frum seminary having openly lesbian students in their dorms.

Bottom line is that when REAL yeshivas and sems are strict enough to boot peple out for watching movies or reading magazines /newspapers, it seems kind of strange to have these situations arise in a place that calls itself a yeshiva.

I’ve never been to YU or seen their setup, all I know about it, is that that it has a good reputation and is quite expensive. If the all the students are forced to take yeshiva studies, I would consider it a Yeshiva as well as a university.
If they aren’t, I don’t see why anybody should care if they folow any hashkafic rules, they are no different from any other university except for the fact that they have a higher percentage of Jewish students.

Regarding other yeshivot, I agree that there are plenty of other sickening aspects that many of them can work on before having the nerve to call themselves a yeshiva. In the long run, the bottom line is to produce God fearing Orthodox jews that are able to learn. I think we can all agree on that.

i would assume generally no. shuls are private religious corporations.
