Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm Announces Retirement from Y.U.
Lamm also took the opportunity to address abuse cover-up accusations that have been leveled against him personally, and YU, saying:
It is to this I turn as I contemplate my response to allegations of abuse in the Yeshiva community. At the time that inappropriate actions by individuals at Yeshiva were brought to my attention, I acted in a way that I thought was correct, but which now seems ill conceived. I understand better today than I did then that sometimes, when you think you are doing good, your actions do not measure up. You think you are helping, but you are not.
