I don't know about formal hours of bible criticism, but as of Solomon
Shechter's day JTS did teach denial of TmS and expected students to
accept it.  R Herbert Goldstein z"l nearly got kicked out of JTS for
giving a sermon about TmS; Schechter told him he would only be allowed
to stay because he was going to graduate soon anyway.
