Goldberg’s crime led to a very public resignation from his
high-profile ACGA role. But the organization did not divorce itself of
Goldberg entirely: he now serves as the Chief Executive Officer of

that the structure of the military community is, in fact, quite similar to

UNIVERSITIES: (Current or recent)
"Ronald Ehrenberg, the Irving M. Ives Professor of Industrial
and Labor Relations and vice president for academic programs, planning and
budgeting, drew mainly from his personal experiences and his background as
a Jew to demonstrate the continued need for affirmative action programs
... . Six out
of eight Ivy League universities in recent years have had Jewish
presidents, Ehrenberg said."
“It’s fascinating,” observed President James O. Freedman in the
February 11 Los Angeles Times, “that there was not a Jewish
president of a major university — with one or two exceptions — until about
15 years ago. And then all of a sudden — without notice — there are
Jewish presidents now at dozens of major institutions.” Among all
those presidents, however, Freedman remains among the most outspoken on
Jewish issues in higher education. Through a series of public comments,
notably his 1990 attack on the Dartmouth Review, Freedman
has repeatedly used his ethnicity to make a name for himself in academic
circles. The Los Angeles Times interview concerned his comments at
the opening of the Roth Center for Jewish Life, in which he exposed
Dartmouth’s history of anti-Semitism."
Tufts University, "Lawrence
S. Bacow, recently installed as president of Tufts University, likes
to say that the naming of
a Jewish college president is hardly newsworthy anymore. After all,
MIT named Jerry Weisner in 1970, and since then Jewish presidents
have reigned at prestigious institutions from Dartmouth to Harvard, Penn
to Princeton ... And, the new Tufts head boasts, every door of the
President's mansion on the Medford campus now hosts a mezzuzah, while the
kitchen has been koshered for his family's use. Bacow's strong
commitment to Judaism and the Jewish community is clear from his positions
as a director of the Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly and a
trustee of Hebrew College, and his wife's role as a trustee of Temple
Emmanuel in Newton. He believes it is important for American Jews to
'speak up on behalf of Israel and to show their support visibly,' yet he
understands the complexities of the situation."
Harvard University, President:
Lawrence Summers (replaced Neil Rudenstine) "I

The University

and Myer Horowitz.
From a correspondent: "When I was at the University of
Arizona in the 1980s, the president, Henry Koffler, was a Jew and
an open supporter of the JDL [Jewish Defense League], which was strong
there. He also sat on the board of the Office of Technology Assessment. He
now is the chairman of the U of A Foundation, which manages endowments."
RELIGIOUS
(Note: a pillar of "interfaith"
Jewish-Christian organizations tends to be the propagandizing of Christan
sensitization to Jewish concerns about "anti-Semitism" (underscoring
alleged Christian blame for the "Holocaust"), and revision of historical
Christian religious texts to accommodate Jewish demands. These types of
organizations are typically constructed towards Christian sympathy of
Jewish hostility to Christianity. Note that at least two organization
directors are rabbis at Christian colleges -- a situation that is
reciprically (read: "priest") unthinkable at a Jewish center of higher
learning. Interfaith "dialogue" with Jewry is essentially Christian
CONCESSION to Jewish perspective, never the other way
around.)
