UNIVERSITIES:
(Current or recent)
"Ronald Ehrenberg, the Irving M. Ives
Professor of Industrial and Labor Relations and vice
president for academic programs, planning and budgeting,
drew mainly from his personal experiences and his
background as a Jew to demonstrate the continued need for
affirmative action programs ... . Six
out of eight Ivy League universities in recent years
have had Jewish presidents, Ehrenberg said."
Its fascinating, observed President James
O. Freedman in the February 11 Los Angeles Times,
that there was not a Jewish president of a major
university with one or two exceptions until
about 15 years ago. And then all of a sudden
without notice there
are Jewish presidents now at dozens of major institutions.
Among all those presidents, however, Freedman remains
among the most outspoken on Jewish issues in higher
education. Through a series of public comments, notably
his 1990 attack on the Dartmouth Review, Freedman
has repeatedly used his ethnicity to make a name for
himself in academic circles. The Los Angeles Times
interview concerned his comments at the opening of the Roth
Center for Jewish Life, in which he exposed
Dartmouths history of anti-Semitism."
Tufts University,
"Lawrence S. Bacow, recently installed as
president of Tufts University, likes to say that the naming
of a Jewish college president is hardly newsworthy
anymore. After all, MIT named Jerry Weisner in
1970, and since then Jewish presidents have reigned at
prestigious institutions from Dartmouth to Harvard, Penn
to Princeton ... And, the new Tufts head boasts, every
door of the President's mansion on the Medford campus now
hosts a mezzuzah, while the kitchen has been koshered for
his family's use. Bacow's strong commitment to
Judaism and the Jewish community is clear from his
positions as a director of the Jewish Community Housing
for the Elderly and a trustee of Hebrew College, and his
wife's role as a trustee of Temple Emmanuel in Newton. He
believes it is important for American Jews to 'speak up
on behalf of Israel and to show their support visibly,'
yet he understands the complexities of the
situation."

The University
of Alberta (Canada) has had two Jewish presidents: Max
Wyman and Myer Horowitz.
From a correspondent: "When I was
at the University of Arizona in the 1980s, the president,
Henry Koffler, was a Jew and an open supporter of
the JDL [Jewish Defense League], which was strong there.
He also sat on the board of the Office of Technology
Assessment. He now is the chairman of the U of A
Foundation, which manages endowments."
RELIGIOUS
(Note: a pillar of
"interfaith" Jewish-Christian organizations
tends to be the propagandizing of Christan sensitization
to Jewish concerns about "anti-Semitism"
(underscoring alleged Christian blame for the
"Holocaust"), and revision of historical
Christian religious texts to accommodate Jewish demands.
These types of organizations are typically constructed
towards Christian sympathy of Jewish hostility to
Christianity. Note that at least two organization
directors are rabbis at Christian colleges -- a situation
that is reciprically (read: "priest")
unthinkable at a Jewish center of higher learning.
Interfaith "dialogue" with Jewry is essentially
Christian CONCESSION to Jewish perspective, never the
other way around.)
