Chaverim and Squeak, if you would like to debate anything I said, consider this a warm invitation to do so. But to sit on the sidelines and make half-sentence pronouncements without one iota of backing behind them, is totally counterproductive.
Squeak, if you dislike YU, kindly begin by comparing the seder hayom at YU vs Touro, and show me the radical differences that make one kosher and the other not. I am not saying that all courses at YU are 100% proper, but neither are they at any secular college which you don’t seem to have any problem with. YU has many non-Jewish professors. A college tries to get the best in each field. Now if one has a choice between a frum professor who is mediocre and doesn’t know his field well and a non-Jew who happens to be on top of his field, which do you think a college will choose. Yes, the non-Jewish professor may have some opinions which run counter to Torah. The definition of a college is freedom of expression. No professor of any stature will stand for having his words censored. However, the eitza is that the students should be sufficiently grounded in Torah and secular knowledge and would know how to refute and debate the professor based on the most advanced knowledge available i.e., on the professor’s home turf, not by quoting religious slogans. If what the student is saying is emes, he should be able to prove his point any number of ways. You simply can’t run a top-quality college any other way. Freedom of research and freedom of ideas is crucial. BTW, I believe that if any student feels that a given course at YU goes against halacha or his religious beliefs he can get out of it, and write a paper instead, on a topic of interest.
There is plenty more we can discuss, but unless you are seriously willing to debate, rather than throwing out one or two word comments from the sidelines, I will assume shtika k’hodaa.
