Inside Orthodox Schools: Who gets hired, which students get admitted and who makes the decisions?
About this episode
The episode discusses hiring practices and admissions policies in Orthodox schools, focusing on nepotism and decision-making processes.
Can a family member who is less qualified be hired before a more qualified candidate? Must admissions be based on merit? When is nepotism allowed? Can the Menahel/Principal keep any donations (bribes?) made to him personally? What if they are non-monetary, like expensive liquor, a new megillah, etc. Can the son of the Menahel sell access to his father?
