No, not about a scandal, but rather about Yeshiva President Dr. Samuel Belkin’s approval to create a college senate comprised of students, faculty, and administrators at Yeshiva College. The Times called it “one of the most ambitious and far-reaching in the nation… [going] far beyond the formulas adopted at other universi- ties.” Universities across America established sen- ates around that time as well - many in response to violent student protests against administrators’ deci- sions - but Yeshiva’s model seemed to significantly expand the powers of the student body, without the pressure from protests. At first, the Yeshiva College Senate operated as a policy-making body, whose decisions became Col- lege policy, unless vetoed by President Belkin or the majority of the Faculty Assembly. After a few years, the Senate lost this absolute power, but remained in an influential advisory capacity. As the founding stu- dent leaders of the Senate noted, once the students, faculty, and administration representatives on the Senate approved a recommendation, the university community would have a hard time ignoring it. The Senate acted as a forum to share the respon- sibilities “for the operations and improvement of the College among the groups that constitute the College” (Constitution of the Yeshiva College Senate, 1969).
