"Hebrew Union accepted millions of dollars in donations based on a 76-year-old promise it now would like to break. We're suing to keep these assets in Cincinnati where they belong."
"The lawsuit claims Hebrew Union College promised in a 1950 agreement to 'permanently' maintain a rabbinical school in Cincinnati, arguing that the college breached Ohio law and its charitable trust."
Ohio attorney general Dave Yost is suing Hebrew Union College to stop the sale of its Cincinnati campus. The college plans to wind down its Cincinnati rabbinical school by 2026 while maintaining programs in other locations. The lawsuit claims the college breached a 1950 agreement to keep a rabbinical school in Cincinnati and misused funds intended for the campus. Yost seeks to prevent the sale of the land and ensure donor funds are used for Ohio programs. He previously sued the college regarding rare library items but reached an agreement.
