You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The college has about 5500 undergraduates, with a teaching staff of 1242, of which over a third are full-time.((r|peterson)) It has about 4000 graduate students.((r|peterson2)) About 70% of undergraduates and nearly 80% of graduate students are female.((r|peterson|peterson2)) Among undergraduates, some 4% are Asian, 15% are [[black people|black]], 8% are [[Hispanic]] and 64% are white.((r|peterson)) The four-year graduation rate is 46%.((r|usnews))

== History ==
Touro College was founded by [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] rabbi and academic sociologist [[Bernard Lander]], who named it for [[Isaac Touro]], an Orthodox rabbi, and his son [[Judah Touro]], a businessman and philanthropist.((r|nyt|jw))

Lander's aim was to provide education for Jewish people, combining professional courses with [[Torah]] studies.((r|jw)) The college received its charter as a private, four-year liberal arts college from the Board of Regents of the State of New York in 1970, and opened its doors in 1971. In its first year it had thirty-five students, all men.((r|nyt)) A section for women was opened in 1974.<ref name=jw>((Cite news|url=https://jewishweek.timesofisrael.com/touro-college-founder-succumbs-at-94/|title=Touro College Founder Succumbs at 94|last=Snyder|first=Tamar|date=February 11, 2010|work=New York Jewish Week|access-date=2019-06-27))</ref> The college was accredited by the [[Middle States Commission on Higher Education]] in 1976; accreditation was reaffirmed in 2015.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.msche.org/institution/0451/|title=Touro College|website=Middle States Commission on Higher Education))</ref>

In the 1970s, the school enrolled into its adult-education program large numbers of old people, among them many of whom could neither read nor write [[English language|English]]. Federal and state authorities subsequently investigated the school, since they believed that this was being done mainly to obtain grants for tuition.((r|nyt))

The college expanded to include schools of [[Touro Law Center|law]], education, social work, [[Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine|osteopathic medicine]], pharmacy, and dentistry.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.guidestar.org/profile/13-2676570|title=Touro College profile|website=Guidestar.org))</ref>((unreliable source?|date=March 2020))

In 2007, at least two school employees were found in an internal college audit to have accepted bribes to change grades and provide fake degrees. They were handed over for prosecution by the college, and were subsequently convicted and imprisoned.((r|nypost|nypost2|nypost3))

Lander remained president until his death in 2010,<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/15/nyregion/15lander.html|title=Rabbi Bernard Lander, the Founder of Touro College, Is Dead at 94|last=Fox|first=Margalit|date=February 14, 2010|work=The New York Times|access-date=2019-06-27))</ref> and was succeeded by [[Alan Kadish]].<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.jewishlinknj.com/features/14590-teaneck-s-dr-alan-kadish-leading-touro-college-to-the-future|title=Teaneck's Dr. Alan Kadish: Leading Touro College to the Future|last=Kratz|first=Elizabeth|date=2016-09-15|work=Jewish Link|access-date=2019-06-27))</ref>

At the end of 2021, the college signed a lease for ((convert|243305|ft2|m2 ha)) at the [[3 Times Square]] building in [[New York City]].  The goal was to consolidate many of the college's schools, currently divided among at least 35 separate locations servicing 19,000 enrolled students, into a central [[Manhattan]] campus.<ref name="nypost20220122">((Cite web |last= |first= |date=2022-01-02 |title=Three Times Square inks ginormous deal with university |url=https://nypost.com/2022/01/02/three-times-square-inks-ginormous-deal-with-university/ |access-date=2023-06-13 |language=en-US))</ref>

On February 20, 2022, Touro College announced that the NYS Board of Regents had granted a request to rename the college to Touro University. <ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.touro.edu/news--events/stories/touro-college-granted-university-status-by-new-york-state-board-of-regents.php|title=Touro College Granted University Status by New York State Board of Regents |website=Touro.edu))</ref>
