Again, what was done was terrible, but one also needs to consider what would be investigated?
This happened around 20 years ago, both men are no longer in the USA. The HS is on its 4th administration since 1995.
Rabbi Lamm is in his 80s, there is a new YU President as well since this happened.
Speaking/blogging in hindsight it is very easy to point fingers and start assigning blame, but to expect the reactions/measures that we are accustomed to now to have been in place and adhered to 20 years ago is impractical and almost imposssible to ask.
In addition? who is there to hold responsible and punish?? To drag an entire HS/College Campus into this mess via collateral damage just doesn’t make any sense. Are the walls guilty?? The elevator??
Everyone is trying to connect this to Penn State and the other similar crimes done, these circumstances could not be more different!
Also, the person who “revealed” this to the press is doing so 12 years after he blackmailed Rabbi Lamm for an apology/compensation. This seems to be uncovering an old witchhunt just to spite YU.
If these crimes were so heinous as he claims, why did he wait 12 years?? If they would have paid him off 12 years ago, would he have remained quiet and sold all the other victims down the river b/c his personal agenda was satisfied?
Would love to hear some intelligent responses!
