I am not sure this is “ending”, but the problem comes with accepting federal funds, as we see now with other colleges. Let’s not demand purity and perfection here: YU is a leader at combining reasonably high quality general education in safe Jewish environment with serious learning. The only reason clubs are relevant is that parents/students demand such activities. If they minimize/separate clubs from the school itself, I don’t think a lot of kids will be bothered by this small group. This is like a story about an Israeli woman who first bothered an Ashkenazi Rav in a bus, who had to move away, and next day – a Sephardi Rav who did not respond to the provocation and explained why he did not defend his honor: “Hu Rav, ani Haham”. So the less will be said about this story, the better. Of course, some will use it to discredit a competing derech, but this is their problem, not YU’s.
