MachaaMaker:
It’s not chashuv for YU, certainly not for today’s YU.
YU was, until that year (about 85 years ago) a Yeshiva, not a University that happened to also have a Yeshiva.
Regardless, Rav Shimon Shkop’s short tenure there was no impediment to the various famous quotes of the gedolim about YU.
Rav Elchonon’s words about that institution are well-known and can also be found online.
Rav Elchonon Wasserman, Rav Aharon Kotler and others would not even walk into the place.
Etc.
Not very chashuv.
