Page "Yeshiva University" Paragraph 8

Richard M. Joel is Yeshiva University's president, while Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm serves as chancellor.

President Joel's nomination as president was unprecedented and considered by some to be controversial, because he is the first president of YU who is not a rabbi.

The university's past leaders include Dr. Bernard Revel, Dr. Samuel Belkin, and " The Rav ," Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik.
