NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A top Manhattan private school has admitted it failed to protect students from physical and sexual abuse.

But a lawyer for three-dozen alleged victims says Yeshiva University High School is still hiding the extent of wrongdoing, CBS 2’s Tony Aiello reported Monday.

Yeshiva University promised to “meet or exceed” the openness of Penn State and other institutions that have hired outsiders to investigate abuse claims, but a lawyer suing the school says an investigative report released Monday falls far short of that promise.

Attorney Kevin Mulhearn slammed the report released by Yeshiva University.

“I think this is a whitewash. They’re trying to establish with the community the fact they’re being open and candid and this report indicates the opposite,” Mulhearn said.
