I never went to either school (except some summer classes at Touro), but i know there are good jews at both places (students, teachers and administrators), who want to grow in torah and also make sure they fulfill their hishtadlus in providing for their families bekavod, so that they are not forced to steal (from the govt or otherwise) as warned by Chazal. Unfortunately, the stealing does occasionally happen with people who refuse to enter into such an "unkosher" program as YU/touro and prefer to pretend to follow in R' Shimon Bar Yochai's footsteps, while stealing to stay afloat. As an aside, i know of several gedolim who also don't like Lander/Touro, and of course there is the famous letter signed by R' Shach, R' Moshe and i think even R' Kaminetzky (if i remember correctly) which forbade sending any girls to the Touro girls division. of course today in olam hafuch that is encouraged, as long as the men can learn comfortably.milhousetrabajonoreply@blogger.com
