Yeshiva University failed to act on multiple allegations of sexual abuse made by students until 2001, a report by a law firm hired by the institution said Monday.
But the report is skimpy on details because Yeshiva honchos directed the firm to publicize its findings only in summary form.
The 21-page document is the result of a months-long investigation by Sullivan & Cromwell LLP into claims by former students that they were molested by adults affiliated with Yeshiva.
“The investigative team found that, up until 2001, there were multiple instances in which the university either failed to appropriately act to protect the safety of its students or did not respond to the allegations at all,” says the report obtained by the Daily News.
“Based on what the investigative team learned from its interviews with victims, this lack of an appropriate response by the university caused victims to believe that their complaints fell on deaf ears or were simply not heard.”
