Aryehm, as I understand it, the only time the Rav ever publically disagreed with R. Dr. Belkin was over changing the school’s charter to that of a university. Even then the Rav said his concern was not R. Belkin but for the future. Moreover, to suugest that the Rav simply “came and said shiurim” is wrong. He set the curriculum for getting smicha (ref the famous summer when he held a summer zman on Mikvaos and said he would not sign any klaf unless the student passed a bechina in mikvaos). He was and by proxy still is the guiding spiritual authority of the institution.
