Michigan Jewish Institute

Michigan Jewish Institute (MJI) is a Jewish-sponsored independent institution of higher and professional education, in the Metro Detroit, Michigan area, United States. Its administrative office is in Southfield, Michigan and its primary campus is in West Bloomfield Township. The institute is located at the 45-acre Campus of Living Judaism, which is affiliated with the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. The Shul is led by MJI’s president, Rabbi Kasriel Shemtov, son of Berel Shemtov, the leader of Chabad of Michigan. Its administrative office is in Southfield, Michigan and its primary campus is in West Bloomfield Township. In March 2016 the institute received a sternly worded 17 page letter from the U.S. Department of Education advising that it was denying its recertification of the school, a move that was reported by ABC News to "severely impact the school's funding." The institute issued a statement calling the Department of Education ruling "extremely harmful" as well as "unfair". The institute suspended the majority of its operations March 2, 2016 as a result of the decertification of it as a school that can obtain Pell grants and other federal funds for its students.
