Rabbi Norman Lamm retired from Yeshiva University and has been diagnosed with a “cognitive impairment” that could prevent him from being a witness.
The former president of Yeshiva University has a doctor’s note that could excuse him from testifying in the shocking $ 380 million sex abuse lawsuit against the Washington Heights institution.
Norman Lamm, a longtime Yeshiva administrator named as a defendant in the federal case, has a “cognitive impairment” that makes him an unreliable witness, a brain expert determined earlier this month, Lamm’s lawyer said.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs — former Yeshiva University High School for Boys students who claim they were abused by staff decades ago — want to depose Lamm, 85, who stepped down as chancellor of the school and apologized for the scandal just before the suit was filed.
