anon1m0us- “Health: Please do not confuse respect with Hate. I don’t care enough about Touro to even put forth any hate emotions. I am stating my experience and as it indicates, I do not respect it. However, B’h it’s LH and not Mozyzi Shem Rah, cause that would mean I also lied. And yes, I went to the one on Ave J and probably knew about 50% of the guys. I stand by what I said.”
But since you’re just qualifying your statement now -your original statement is Motzay Shem Ra! And how you can say you don’t hate Touro when you just made a negative statement about all of Touro colleges because you didn’t like one. This is simply hate – more than lack of respect. S/o that doesn’t respect something doesn’t seek revenge by putting down everything about the place, like you did. Your statement applied to All their schools whether you admit it or not.
“Also, the same halacha issues you have in coed schools you have working. I can’t fathom what halacha issues you are referring to, but I realize it’s never to late to create a new chumrah.”
Funny, are you MO that thinks the workplace is the same as college? Either you’re very ignorant about what goes on in college or your Yeshiva education didn’t include these Halachos.
First of all, there are all sort of legal rules that you have in the workplace, like ____ harrassment that doesn’t exist in college. Do you think it’s a Chumra not to have to mingle with people from the opposite gender? Do you think it’s a Chumra not to have to do a project with the opposite gender when you’re assigned one from the professor?
“What college have you went to where they had class on shabbos?!! I went to undergad and grad school and NEVER had a class or exam on shabbos!! You either take weekday classes, night classes or weekend classes. If you are not signed up for a weekend class, you NEVER have class on shabbos. As far as Yom Tov, why is it any different than anything else in life. Yes, you can take off, but you are still responsible for what happens! Do you use that excuse at work? “Sorry, I was off for my holiday so I missed the deadline.” No, you get the work done before Yom Tov starts and follow up after Yom Tov.”
First of all, some schools are now including Fri as part as weekday scheduling which are making Frum scheduling harder.
As far as Yom Tov goes I didn’t say you can’t take off, but they give you a hard time. I once had to take off Yom Tov and they made me take the test that was scheduled then – beforehand, limiting my study time. Why should s/o make their life harder when there are schools like Touro?
