Dr. Herry N. Rivlin, dean of teacher education at the City University of New York, will become dean of the school of education of Fordham University, a Catholic institution here, next fall, according to a Fordham announcement made yesterday.
Dr. Rivlin, a Jew, will be the first educator of his faith to hold a high administrative post at the institution, which is conducted by Jesuits. However, it was pointed out that there have been many Jews on the Fordham faculties since the university was founded 125 years ago. Dr. Rivlin, who is 61, has been on the faculty of the City College of New York, which is now part of the City University, since 1937.
