Social Democrats,
"The Social Democrats, USA (SD/USA) has its political roots in the
Socialist Party. Its philosophical forefather was the intellectual Trotskyite,
Max Shactman. Shactman, initially a Communist, became increasinging
disenchanted with the actions of the Soviet Union under Stalin and developed
a new genre of antiStalinist leftists. This group joined the Socialist
party of Eugene Debs and Norman Thomas in the 1960s. (2) It was in this
period that the SD/USA made its commitment to, and its first inroads into
the organized labor movement. In 1972, the Socialist Party split into
two factions; the left led by Michael Harrington and the right or conservative
wing led by Tom
Kahn,
Rachelle Horowitz, and Carl Gershman. (2) The latter
became the SD/USA."

(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."

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 speak with you today not as President of the University but
as a concerned member of our community about something that I never thought
I would become seriously worried about -- the issue of anti-Semitism.
I
am Jewish, identified but hardly devout."
(More concern about anti-Semitism)
Yale University,
President: Richard
L. Levin
Princeton University,
President: Harvey Shapiro (stepped
down after 12 years, in 2001)
Dartmouth College,
President: James O. Freedman
(What
Being Jewish Means to Me: "I dearly wish that my father, who
had confronted anti-semitism in finding his early teaching positions,
had lived long enough to see the installation of Jewish presidents at
numerous Ivy League and Big Ten universities.")
More hysterical Judeocentric weirdness from
Freedman.

Lehman

President: Judith Rodin
* "KOL
NIDRE REMARKS: We ask: 'Where are we, ourselves?' not just, 'Where
am I?' We pray collectively, both to recognize our collective responsibilities
and to acknowledge the failings and limitations that are common to us
all. In this way, we express the essential inter-relatedness between our
own actions and the larger community in and for which we act."
* "[T]he University of Pennsylvania will
not support divestment from Israel, boycotts of Israeli scholars and
scientists, or any effort to stifle the free expression of diverse ideas
and opinions about the Middle East conflict by our faculty and students."
* "[T]argeting Israel for divestment and boycotts is
wrong."
Northwestern University,

"Northwestern hosts an annual summer Institute for Holocaust and
Jewish Civilization .... President Bienen serves as the honorary
chair for the Institute."

"Steven L. Isenberg, who has been Adelphi
University's board chairman since the appointment of this
group of trustees by the New York State Board of Regents in February 1997,
was named interim president of Adelphi on July 26, when Matthew Goldstein
announced his departure to become chancellor of the City University
of New York."
West Chester University,
President: Madeleine Wing Adler
WCU is the headquarters of the National Association for Holocaust

(Note from a JTR contributor: Dr. Lawrence Davidson of the WCU
history dept. says that "Israelis have come to believe in an alternate
history." See page 84, April '03 issue of Washington Report On Middle
East Affairs magazine.)

The University
of Alberta (Canada) has had two Jewish presidents: Max Wyman
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.)
International Fellowship
of Christians and Jews,
Director: Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
(Note: this organization is a noteworthy exploitive scam. Rabbi Eckstein
has sucked tens of millions of dollars from innocent Christians for brutal,
racist Israel -- a country that has contempt for them.)

and pioneered the growth of the God's World newspapers for children, with
a weekly paid circulation of nearly a third of a million. In 1986, he
founded World magazine, which now has a weekly paid circulation of 130,000.
GWP also includes the ministry of God's World Book Club and the World
