L.A. Bishop Takes Yale Post on Interim Basis
- Share via
NEW HAVEN, Conn.--Los Angeles’ just-retired Episcopal bishop has been appointed interim head of the troubled Berkeley Divinity School at Yale.
The Rt. Rev. Frederick Borsch, 66, began at Berkeley this week and will remain until a dean is named. Borsch will not be a candidate for the permanent job, according to Christian Sonne, chairman of the school’s board of trustees.
Borsch replaces Ralph William Franklin, who left in December to work for the Episcopal Diocese of New York after auditors questioned his management of the school’s finances. Auditors accused Franklin of using the school’s money for personal expenses.
