NEW YORK (AP) — The chancellor of Yeshiva University says he was “wrong” in the way he handled allegations of sexual abuse at the university’s high school decades ago.
In a letter announcing his retirement on Monday, Rabbi Norman Lamm says his response to the allegations was “ill-conceived.” Lamm is stepping down after decades at the university amid an ongoing investigation into accusations of abuse by alumni.
The university says Lamm’s decision to retire was based on an agreement reached with the school three years ago.
