"I am deeply appalled." 

1/27/2016

Comments

 
I am a female, with a somewhat Christian background, who is a professor and chair in public health at a medical school currently operated by an Orthodox Jewish sect. The institution, which was previously owned by a local Catholic diocese, was purchased by the sect. Because I was already employed there, I was 'grandfathered' in.

Under the new owners, I have witnessed a subtle but unmistakable subjugation of both female faculty and students, and I am deeply appalled. The sect is aware of and savvy at avoiding legal intervention into their practices, and has avoided investigation.
