Schachter has been condemned his use of the term shvartze (the Yiddish word for black, racially loaded when directed at a person): "The recent use of a derogatory racial term and negative characterizations of African-Americans and Muslims, by a member of the faculty, are inappropriate, offensive, and do not represent the values and mission of Yeshiva University", a YU spokesman stated.
