Participant; the difference between YU and yeshivos kedoshos, is that any other yeshiva would close down if their hishtadlus failed and they were forced to teach devorim asurim or have clubs of that sort. And they’d operate in secret; break out the dreidels…. it would be just another sad chapter in the history of persecution that has befallen us.
What YU did was the way of the misyavnim.
