The '''Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies''', informally known as the "'''Ziegler School'''" or simply "'''Ziegler'''", is the graduate program of study leading to Ordination as Conservative Rabbis at the [[American Jewish University]] (formerly known as the University of Judaism). Founded in 1996 as a full-fledged program of Rabbinic ordination on the West Coast - the first independent rabbinical school on the West Coast - it ordained its first class in 1999. It is located in [[Los Angeles]] and has ordained about 100 rabbis, about half of them women. The School attracts an international student body, with students from [[Australia]], [[Brazil]], [[Canada]], [[France]], [[Israel]], [[Mexico]], [[Uganda]], and the [[United Kingdom]], as well as from every region of the [[United States]]. Upon ordination, Ziegler rabbis serve in every sector of the United States and Israel. Ziegler rabbis are automatically admitted to the international [[Rabbinical Assembly]].▼

The Ziegler School program requires
The Ziegler School ordained only two students in 2021. In 2022, it slashed tuition by 80%, with the stated goal to attract more students and make rabbinical school more accessible.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hajdenberg |first=Jackie |date=2022-03-24 |title=One of 2 Conservative rabbinical schools in the US is slashing tuition — by nearly 80% |url=https://www.jta.org/2022/03/24/religion/one-of-2-conservative-rabbinical-schools-in-the-us-is-slashing-tuition-by-nearly-80 |access-date=2024-03-21 |website=Jewish Telegraphic Agency |language=en-US}}</ref> In 2023, after AJU sold off their campus in [[Bel Air, Los Angeles|Bel Air]], the Ziegler School relocated to an office building in [[Pico-Robertson]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Elia-Shalev |first=Asaf |date=2023-05-15 |title=Conservative Ziegler rabbinical school to relocate to 'heart of Jewish life' in Los Angeles |url=https://www.jta.org/2023/05/15/united-states/conservative-ziegler-rabbinical-school-to-relocate-to-heart-of-jewish-life-in-los-angeles |access-date=2024-03-21 |website=Jewish Telegraphic Agency |language=en-US}}</ref>
In March 2024, the [[Jewish Telegraphic Agency]] revealed that AJU had hired law firm [[Cozen O'Connor]] to investigate complaints of gender-based misconduct at the Ziegler School. The complaints, made over the previous two decades by former rabbinical students, allege a pattern of male favoritism and disrespectful treatment by dean Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson and deputy dean Rabbi Cheryl Peretz, who were notified of the investigation by a Cozen O'Connor attorney. Artson and Peretz are also the subject of a probe by the [[Rabbinical Assembly]] over a similar set of allegations. According to the JTA's article, a report from AJU is forthcoming.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Elia-Shalev |first=Asaf |date=2024-03-20 |title=2 investigations underway following complaints of sexism at Ziegler rabbinical seminary |url=https://www.jta.org/2024/03/20/united-states/2-investigations-underway-following-complaints-of-sexism-at-ziegler-rabbinical-seminary |access-date=2024-03-21 |website=Jewish Telegraphic Agency |language=en-US}}</ref>
