Towson University has suspended a DC rabbi, who served on the university’s faculty, after he was arrested on charges of voyeurism.

Dr. Barry Freundel, who is a member of the faculty in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, was arrested on Tuesday on charges that he videotaped women using a shower.

In a statement on the university’s website, spokesman Ray Feldman said, “Dr. Freundel has been suspended from any and all faculty duties and responsibilities, pending the outcome of that investigation and associated criminal proceedings. At this time there is no indication that these activities occurred on the Towson University campus.

“We are concerned about the serious nature of this matter, and we are providing support and counseling resources to members of the campus community.”
