Can we get the facts straight here?Yeshiva did not receive "$230 million in public funds". What they did get was a favorable interest rate through a loan agreement with the Dormitory Authority. Yeshiva - and only Yeshiva - is obligated to pay off the bond. The Dormitory Authority is not even a "guarantor" of the bond. If Yeshiva were to default on the bond, the bond owners' recourse is to Yeshiva. I think the NY Times needs to educate its reporting and headline writing staff about this area. Unless of course, they couldn't resist the opportunity to embellish the story against an Orthodox Jewish institution.
