==Controversy== In 1997, Neuberger criticised [[education in Northern Ireland]] as "[[Sectarianism in Northern Ireland|sectarian]]" at the opening of [[List of integrated schools in Northern Ireland|Loughview Integrated Primary School]].<ref name="cain-schools-controversy">{{cite web|url=http://cain.ulster.ac.uk/othelem/chron/ch97.htm|title=CAIN: Chronology of the Conflict 1997|first=Dr Martin|last=Melaugh|website=cain.ulster.ac.uk}}</ref> The ''[[Irish News]]'' claimed she had criticised Catholic schools as sectarian, leading to criticism from the Director of the [[Council for Catholic Maintained Schools]].<ref name="irish-news-criticses-neuberger">[http://www.irishnews.com/pageacc.asp?sid=217635&tser1=ser&par=ben "Catholic schools are sectarian says chancellor"]{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}, Anna-Marie McFaul, ''[[Irish News]]'', 17 April 2007</ref><ref name="university-ulster-washes-hands">[http://www.irishnews.com/pageacc.asp?tser1=ser&par=ben&sid=218329 "UU 'washes hands' of chancellor"]{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}, Anna-Marie McFaul, ''[[Irish News]]'', 19 April 2007</ref> However, she said that the report from the ''Irish News'' had given a misleading impression and that she had been quoted out of context: "In fact, I think in what I actually said at the opening I didn't mention Catholic schools. I think I actually mentioned Protestant, Muslim and Jewish but then I was interviewed afterwards and I certainly said to the reporter that what I said applied just as much to Catholic schools as to Protestant or Jewish or Muslim or whatever."<ref name="irish-times">{{cite news|author= Moriarty, Gerry|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/1997/0426/97042600043.html|title=Rabbi says report was misleading|work = [[Irish Times]]|date = 26 April 1997|access-date = 13 November 2019}}</ref><ref name="IE-professional">[http://www.blythe.org/nytransfer-subs/97ire/The_IE_Professional__120b_9-23-97 UU Chancellor defends comments on single denomination schools] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070903111333/http://www.blythe.org/nytransfer-subs/97ire/The_IE_Professional__120b_9-23-97 |date= 3 September 2007 }}, The IE Professional #120b, 23 September 1997</ref>
