Medical Antisemitism Part 3: Dr. Sheldon Rubenfeld - Is DEI the New Eugenics?

Dr. Sheldon Rubenfeld is the founder and executive director of the Center for Medicine after the Holocaust, or CMATH (medicineaftertheholocaust.org [http://medicineaftertheholocaust.org/]) and has led multiple trips for medical professionals to European medical sites relevant to the Holocaust. He is Clinical Professor of General Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine where he taught Jewish Medical Ethics for 20 years until he was cancelled in 2023. In a fascinating interview, he discusses the concerning parallels between medicine today under diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies and medicine in the Third Reich, advancing the case that DEI policies breed antisemitism in medicine.

Professor Ron Hassner: UC Berkeley Faculty Take A Stand Against Campus Antisemitism

Professor Ron Hassner staged a faculty sit-in against antisemitism by living and sleeping in his Berkeley office until university administrators agreed to his requests to improve the campus environment for his Jewish students who are facing unprecedented antisemitism. Several other faculty eventually joined him, setting off a growing movement.
