From the Yeshiva University student newspaper:
… [L]ack of communication is a systemic problem at Yeshiva. Controversy still surrounds a tenure process that deals decisions with nary an explanation, leaving talented faculty members and caring students in the dark. Sy Syms accounting majors experienced similar frustrations this year, when the school failed to communicate to its students recent changes in New York State’s CPA requirements. And the wall of secrecy surrounding our endowment has long been a problem, stinging us with failing grades in our annual Sustainability Report Card ratings and leaving us vulnerable to the likes of Bernie Madoff.
Bravo. But the real wall of secrecy Yeshiva students should be worrying about is the university’s trustees.

Not related to Yeshiva, per see, but an update another University administration-board combo you’ve followed. Particularly harsh comments associated with the article.

Ouch. You’re right, Crimson05er. Very harsh indeed.
