Brandeis Judaic Studies: any worldview/political/religious/historic bias?

Hi!

I just found out that I got into Brandeis, and I’ve heard that they have one of the better/best Judaic Studies programs (full name is Near Eastern and Judaic Studies). I do, however, have a question: I have heard that Brandeis is a very liberal institution, and I’m fine with that–after all, most higher education institutions are liberal. BUT, do any of you who have taken humanities (culture, religion, English, language, history, comparative literature, etc.) courses at Brandeis feel like there’s any bias? I’m not asking as to the particular worldview of the professors, but rather if they enforce their worldview through the curriculum, grading, and corrections/comments. I prefer systems/professors/curricular that give a fair view of each perspective. I’m fine with reading books from a certain narrow perspective, as long as there are books that give the countering opinion. Do the professors automatically assume that everyone in the class does not believe in the accounts of the Bible (and that it is primitive to view otherwise), for example? Anybody here have anything to say about how Brandeis’s teaching is in this respect?

Many thanks!

Highly rated school in science & liberal arts. In recent years they have exhibited a huge leftwing bias far removed from the mentor of the school-Louis Brandeis. They repulsed one of their graduation speakers who is a scholar on Islam. She was not off the chart at all. It’s unfortunate but the profs are increasingly going anti-Israel, more secular, & extending ultimate political correctness to Islam. Very sad to see for such a fine university.
