Dr. Frank R.Kille, Associate Commissioner of the New York State Department of Education, said today that his Department’s recent action advising the Yeshiva University Graduate School of Education to overhaul its doctoral program, had been misinterpreted by some segments of the public.
In a letter to Dr. Samuel Belkin, president of Yeshiva, Dr. Kille said he wanted to clear up “misinterpretation” and inaccurate statements and declared: “In no way should our recent report reflect on the quality, merit or integrity of the rest of the university and on the competence of the several programs.” He noted in the letter that the university had already started making the necessary improvements recommended in his report.
