Glick, a certified public accountant who held a variety of posi- tions over the years at B'nai B'rith, including treasurer, was arraigned March 31 and released on $50,000 bail after Dennis Glick entering a plea of not guilty. He was arrested March 23 on charges of falsifying tax returns for a client and lying about it to investigators. If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison and a fine of $1.25 million. Glick, of Huntingdon Valley, Pa., was indicted by a Pennsylvania grand jury. Cal Irvine Students Met Hamas Leader SAN FRANCISCO (JTA) — Students from the University of California, Irvine met with a llamas leader during a 2009 stu- dent trip to Israel. The Institute for Jewish and Community Research said it learned recently that the university's branch of the Olive Tree Initiative, an Israeli-Palestinian peace organization, arranged for a meeting between the Irvine students and a Hamas leader in the West Bank. The institute is protesting the meeting. Rumsfeld: No Clemency For Jonathan Pollard WASHINGTON (JTA) — Former U.S. Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld said Jonathan Pollard should not be granted clemency. Rumsfeld, who served under Presidents Gerald Ford and George W. Bush, said during an interview on Israel's Channel 10 that grant- ing Pollard early release would send the wrong Jonathan message. Pollard Pollard, who has been imprisoned since his 1985 arrest, was sentenced to life in 1987 after being convicted of spying on behalf of Israel. He is said to be ill. Carter Met Gross, Pressed For Release ATLANTA (JTA) — Former President Jimmy Carter on his visit to Cuba met with jailed American contractor Alan Gross and said he believes Gross is "inno- cent of any serious crime." ' Carter said he would discuss Gross' case with Cuban officials, but said that was not the reason for his visit. Gross, 61, was con- victed and sentenced to 15 years in prison last Jimmy Carter month for crimes against the state. Cuban authori- ties detained Gross in late 2009 on his way out of the country, saying he was a spy. N.Y. Budget Includes Tuition For Rabbinics NEW YORK (JTA) — New York's state budget includes tuition grants for college students attending some private religious institutions, including Orthodox rabbini- cal schools. The money is available as part of the state's Tuition Assistance Program under which any theological student who meets certain criteria, including attending a three-year program at a tax-exempt insti- tution based in New York, can be eligible for the grants. Some 5,000 men who attend dozens of Orthodox rabbinical schools in New York stand to benefit, according to the New York Times, but most rabbinic seminaries accept only students who have completed college. Reform Opposes, OU Backs Religious Schools Vouchers WASHINGTON (JTA) — The Reform movement was "alarmed" by the pas- sage of a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives reviving a program that funds scholarships at religious schools. The Orthodox Union supports the bill. The Republican-majority House passed the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program last week by a vote of 225 to 195. The $100 million program, ostensibly enabling parents in Washington, D.C., to steer their children to schools of choice, effectively favors religious schools because its schol- arships, typically around $12,000, are too low for secular private schools. Jewish Education Event Is Overbooked In Europe BERLIN (JTA) — Some 6,000 young Jewish leaders and educators applied for slightly more than 1,000 spots at a European education and youth assembly to be held in Paris. Those who lost reserved spots at this week's conference will be the first invited to the next event of the European Council of Jewish Communities. The participants from across Europe converged on Disneyland Paris April 3-4 for the ECJC's inaugural Jewish Education and Youth General Assembly.
