I was there. I heard The Rav speak up against YU policy. He did not do so very often, but he did when he felt that he had no other option. Dr. Belkin was the university president and he set all policies. His policies were executed by his minions, such as Harav Israel (Heb. name Ozriel) Miller and others. The Rav came, gave his Shiurim, and returned home. We can see from the fact that his talmidim, such as (yibadlu l’chaim) Harav Herschel Schachter’s and Harav Aharon Kahn’s examples that his derech was much to the right of Rabbi Dr. Belkin.
