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>
