Silber, a Yale philosophy Ph.D. and an Immanuel Kant scholar, has admitted to his "warts, defects and idiosyncrasies." He has also tried to allay fears that a mass layoff of faculty is planned.

There he has nurtured a close friendship with the Rev. Billy Zeoli, an evangelical minister who is head...
