Walter Homolka

The Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion conferred upon him a "Doctor Humanarum Litterarum" honoris causa.

[3] In May 2022, several newspapers in Germany featured a series of in-depth reports on sexual misconduct by Homolka and his husband, including inappropriate behaviour that was targeted at students of the Abraham Geiger College he founded and where he served as rector.

[4] The results of an investigation by an independent commission of the University of Potsdam published in October 2022 confirmed the accusation of abuse of power at the Abraham Geiger Kolleg by Homolka, but no sexual harassment.

The investigative commission made recommendations for the unbundling of Homolka's management functions, the establishment of independent control bodies and a review of rules of procedure.

The Abraham Geiger College was acquired by the Jewish Community of Berlin, which announced that Rabbi Homolka would have no role at the restructured institution.
