I Report Anti Jewish Bias
In Choosing Univ. Prexies
)
WASHINGTON (JTA) The]
can Jewish Committee re|
ported here the results of a study
showing that fewer than one per-
ent of the presidents of Amor-
775 non-sectarian senior;
.-oilegea and universities, public
jnrl private, were Jewish even:
-.hough Jews make up between 10
and 12 percent of the student
lies and faculties of those In-1
siitutions.
The findings were made public
at the annual meeting of the
\.i ommittee b> its president.
Moiris B. Abeam, based on a six-
i, mth study which concluded that
'there does not seem to be any*
Alternative to the conclusion that
ias is id work."
The study found that since
1949, there has been an esti-
mated 1,000 vacancies in the
l- esidencies nf publicly-support-
ed universities and senior col-
;ges. But, ud to a monih ago,
ct one appoi ltment had been
. iven *o a Jewish educator. The
exception is Dr, Martin
0 i, who will take office as
. i Jent of the Buffalo Campus
Sf.ite University of New
j later this year.

The study found that of 1,720
deans m the 775 colleges and uni-
versities, 45 or 2.6 percent, are
Jews and 29 ol these are in six in-
stitutions In the other 769 insti-
tutions, there are only 16 Jewish
deans, fewer than one percent. The
purported bias was explained on
ihe premise tliat the presidency in-
volves positions where the public
"lace" ot the institution was con-
cerned and that if Jews were
chosen presidents, they might be
handicapped by prejudice on the
part ol those with whom thev must
deal.
The study covered 397 private
institutions Five ol these were
found to have Jewish presidents:
Binnington College. Brandeis Uni-
versity, which is Jewish-spon-
SOred; Chicago Medical School.
Lincoln University and Sarah Law-
rence College. The report tound
