(Currently it's held by a yeshiva in Washington; I believe legally .edu domains can be held only by post-high school institutions. Even if not, I'm sure YU could buy it.) They can keep yu.edu as well, of course, but it's rare to see abbreviations outside of schools named for states.Nachumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292162031685942549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006360582862319640.post-38644994320033484072007-12-26T17:56:00.000-05:002007-12-26T17:56:00.000-05:00Noah, I agree 100%.YU must decide whether it is a ...Noah, I agree 100%.<BR/><BR/>YU must decide whether it is a real academic university or post-high school yeshiva with secular studies on the side. <BR/><BR/>Harvard.edu, columbia.edu, yale.edu...one glance at these websites signals the viewer immediately that they're dealing with a genuine academic institution. Can you imagine if columbia's website featured a giggling gang of 14-year olds?<BR/><BR/>As President Joel has said hundreds of times (and if he hasn't, he should have), one of YU's most pressing issues now is image. People see YU as a yeshiva with a watered down secular education. If we want to broadcast to the world that Yeshiva University has emerged as a top-tier academy, one of our main priorities should be the web site.<BR/><BR/>That withstanding, I don't think we should feature female models on the opening page. Perhaps we can settle for handsome students hard at work at the lab, or studying in the fourth floor of the library.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006360582862319640.post-59899735261848027402007-12-26T16:04:00.000-05:002007-12-26T16:04:00.000-05:00Shallow?

Of course it is!<BR/><BR/>But if YU is spending all this money on PR, and if PR is largely based on such shallowness, then let YU at least do it properly.<BR/><BR/>Besides, the points I made about it reflecting what YU is actually about - scholarship, history, etc - are hardly shallow, I think.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027975561680523321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006360582862319640.post-3546291710646040312007-12-26T15:59:00.000-05:002007-12-26T15:59:00.000-05:00how shallowhow shallowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006360582862319640.post-65019313873626497122007-12-26T15:22:00.000-05:002007-12-26T15:22:00.000-05:00In some way an advertisement of a hip young colleg...In some way an advertisement of a hip young college student would turn a lot of people (orthodox) off of YU. Part of this has to do with identifying your audience and I've yet to hear where the 1000 new students are coming from.
