Yeshiva university opens transfers for Jewish students threatened by campus protests

"Ultimately, these are issues that need to be addressed by these respective universities. It is not good for America or for the Jewish people for any campus to be unsafe for Jewish students or students of any minority or vulnerable population," Berman said. "We extend our hand to be of any assistance in supporting efforts by these universities to protect their students from threats to their safety."

"We cannot ignore the profound distress we have been witnessing. No Jewish student should have to face the threats and intimidation that has sadly been taking place," he added. "While our enrollments are already full for the coming year, we at the flagship Jewish university will not turn our backs on these students."

Yeshiva is also accepting transfers for students who want to study in Israel in YU's program with Tel Aviv University and with Bar-Ilan University.

Earlier this year, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor cited Jew-hatred in his decision to leave his "dream job" to come to Yeshiva.
