Students and staff at New York City’s Yeshiva University have mixed, but largely positive, reactions to the return of tenured professor Joy Ladin, formerly Jay.
Fulbright scholar, poet and literature professor Ladin was put on indefinite leave after announcing her gender transition in 2006, according to anonymous staff members. After months of debate between rabbis, administrators, Ladin and her lawyers, Ladin was cleared to return. According to staff, the decision was to avoid a legal battle.
