asserted that the Jewish
students who take the
courses see, "perhaps for the
first time," that the Jews
"are accredited as being a
people of interest and ac-
complishment, every bit as
worthy, of serious and ex-
tended study as other
people."
Alvin Rosenfeld reported
on the program and on its
impact on the Jewish stu-

dents, the non-Jewish stu-
dents taking the courses,
and on communities outside
of Bloomington, the home of
the university, in a recent
issue of "Sh'ma."
For the hundreds of stu-
dents who take the courses,
"the Jewish experience has
been given a kind of legiti-
macy it may not have had
before," he said.
Rosenfeld reported
that 14 faculty members
teach the 40 different
courses offered each
academic year. Almost
all of the courses are on
the undergraduate level.
Six of the faculty mem-
bers do all their teaching
in Jewish subject areas,
and eight teach part-time
for the program, he de-
clared.
Some 850 students, both
Jews and non-Jews, took
classes within the program
in 1978.
