Two Jewish mental health care workers at Stanford University claim the diversity committee within the school’s counseling department creates a hostile environment for Jews and ignores anti-Semitism on campus.
Psychiatrist Ronald Albucher and mental health specialist Sheila Levin on Tuesday lodged a complaint against Stanford University’s Counseling & Psychological Services department on Tuesday. The pair alleges that the department’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee failed to address incidents of anti-Semitism on campus, and that some of its members have used anti-Israel rhetoric.
Two Jewish mental health professionals at Stanford’s on-campus counseling clinic have filed workplace discrimination complaints after what they call “severe and persistent” anti-Jewish harassment from colleagues.
Dr. Ronald Albucher, a psychiatrist and associate professor in the medical school, and Sheila Levin, a therapist specializing in eating disorders, describe being pressed into joining a “whiteness” affinity group by staffers with the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program, being told they were “privileged,” and seeing antisemitic incidents downplayed.

The university responded inadequately to their concerns, made over the course of a year, Albucher and Levin say, thereby fostering a “hostile and unwelcoming environment” for Jewish employees working for Stanford’s Counseling and Psychological Services office (CAPS).
