"The Harvard Hillel placed its Orthodox rabbi and his wife on administrative leave on Friday, citing "credible allegations of serious violations" of its HR policies."
""We regret that this had to happen so suddenly at the end of the semester," the spokesman said. "No matter what happens with our investigation, Harvard Hillel has a longstanding, unwavering commitment to support Harvard's Orthodox community.""
"Harvard Hillel has implemented a plan to bridge the Orthodox community until the end of the year."
Harvard Hillel placed Orthodox rabbi Ethan Fried and his wife, Bella, on administrative leave pending an investigation into credible allegations of serious HR policy violations. The action occurred just before the start of Shabbat and leaves students without an Orthodox rabbi as the semester ends. A Harvard Hillel spokesman expressed regret about the timing and affirmed a longstanding commitment to support the Orthodox community. Harvard Hillel implemented a plan to bridge the Orthodox community until year-end and removed Ethan Fried's profile from its website. Ethan began the position about five months ago after graduating Harvard in 2016; Bella does not list Harvard Hillel on her LinkedIn. Harvard Hillel did not share details on the allegations, and Boston.com was unable to contact the Frieds for comment.
