Customer Service

At the risk of sounding shrill or redundant, we feel that attention once more must be called to a salient fact of YU life that seemingly never changes. The recent success realized by students in organizing events for the benefit of the University community was in the face of efforts by the administration and employees to hinder their every move. The constant procrastinating and obfuscation by certain employees and administrators is unfortunately the rule, rather than the exception.

For decades, the administrative body overseeing this campus and its branches around the city has exhibited minimal concern for the life and well being of its students. The preoccupation of enhancing the general endowment of this institution and pursuance of scholarly academic recognition does not forgo nor exempt the university's responsibility to its students.

Yeshiva has a responsibility towards its students. The few offices in this university that do indeed treat students as customers should be commended for their efforts in enhancing student life on campus and expanding opportunities of student interest. Faculty and administration should take a lesson from these offices and must realize whom they are here to serve. If we the students are not sanguine with our stay here at YU, why would we have our children endure the same experience?
