Yeshiva University is a private university in New York City, with four campuses in New York City.〔("About YU ) on the Yeshiva University website〕 Founded in 1886, it is a research university. The university's undergraduate schools—Yeshiva College, Stern College for Women, and Syms School of Business—offer a dual curriculum inspired by Modern-Centrist-Orthodox Judaism's ''hashkafa'' (philosophy) of Torah Umadda'' ("Torah and secular knowledge")'' combining academic education with the study of Torah.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mission Statement )〕 Yeshiva is perhaps best known for its secular, highly selective graduate schools, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. The Forward announced on May 27, 2014 that Yeshiva would be shedding the financial burden of Albert Einstein College of Medicine when the medical school is taken over by the Bronx-based Montefiore Health Systems.〔(Moshael Straus Elected Yeshiva U. Board Chief ) The Jewish Daily Forward, 30 April 2015〕 While the majority of students at the University are of the Jewish faith, many students, especially at School of Law, the College of Medicine, and the School of Business, are not Jewish. Yeshiva University is an independent institution chartered by New York State.〔(A brief overview of the History of Yeshiva University )〕〔(History of YU )〕〔(Yeshiva University Undergraduate women's catalog )〕〔(Yeshiva University Overview )〕 It is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yeshiva University Accredited )〕 and by several professional agencies.〔''This is Yeshiva University: 2007–2008''〕 ==Overview and history== (詳細はEtz Chaim Yeshiva founded in 1886 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, a cheder-style elementary school founded by Eastern European immigrants that offered study of Talmud along with some secular education, including instruction in English. As of August 2012, Yeshiva University enrolls approximately 6,400 undergraduate students, 3,500 graduate students, and 1,000 students at its affiliated high schools and Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary. It conferred 1,822 degrees in 2007 and offers community service projects serving New York, Jewish communities, the United States and Canada.〔 Richard M. Joel is Yeshiva University's president, while Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm served as chancellor until 2013. Joel is the first president of YU who is not a rabbi. The university's past leaders include Dr. Bernard Revel, Dr. Samuel Belkin, and "The Rav," Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik. In April 2015 Moshael Straus was elected as Yeshiva University Board Chief. Straus, will succeed Henry Kressel, whose six years as the head of the university’s board overlapped with an era of "financial crisis" at the university. Straus, who currently serves as vice-chairman, has been a member of the board since 1998. His term began on July 1, 2015. The university has run an operating deficit for seven consecutive years. In 2014 it lost $84 million, and in 2013 suffered a loss of $64 million. In March 2015, the faculty of Yeshiva College passed a "no-confidence motion" against Richard Joel, the university president. Professor Gillian Steinberg, a member of the Yeshiva College executive committee, told The New York Jewish Week that the vote was meant to “signal donors in a meaningful way” and “indicate that the board of trustees is moving in the wrong direction.”〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yeshiva University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
