dents between morning and
afternoon sessions because
they felt certain Jewish junior
kindergarten students "did
not interact with other stu-
dents as freely as had (non-
Jewish) students in previous
classes."
The eight-member indepen-
dent committee, chaired by
prominent Detroit attorney
Alan Schwartz, was commis-
sioned by Cranbrook after al-
legations of bias against
Jewish applicants first sur-
faced in 1982. A lawsuit filed
in 1983 by a former Cranbrook
administrator, Judith
Stefanec, charges in part that
she was dismissed from the
school in an attempt to cover
up the bagel incident. That
suit is still pending.
Although the committee
found no hard evidence of dis-
crimination in the Brookside
admissions procedure, the re-
port does state that "the num-
erical record indicates that
students identified with bagel
symbols were accepted at a
disproportionately lower rate
than others."
Figures in the report show
that of the 23 applicants whose
files were marked with bagel
symbols, nine were accepted,
13 were turned down and one
was listed as "too young, ac-
ceptable for 1982-1983 junior
kindergarten." Of the 47 non-
Jewish applicants, 32 were ac-
cepted, 11 were refused and
four were judged too young.
However, this did not indi-
cate anti-Jewish discrimina-
tion, the report said, because
the statistics available to the
committee did not allow for
comparison of all the qualifi-
cations of 1981-1982 junior
kindergarten applicants.
According to figures
supplied by Cranbrook, nearly
300 Jewish students are cur-
rently enrolled at Brookside,
Cranbrook Middle School for
boys, Kingswood Middle
School for girls and Cranbrook
Kingswood, the co-
educational college preparat-
ory school. This represents
, about 20 percent of Cran-
brook's overall student popu-
lation.
Parents of Jewish students
attending the private schools
campus in Bloomfield Hills
are uncomfortable and upset,
although not necessarily
shocked, with the results of
the investigation and the ac-
tion taken by school officials.
"It doesn't surprise me at all,"
Dr. Bruce Kaplan told The
Jewish News . Dr. Kaplan, who
has two children at Cran-
brook, cited - the school's affili-
