After 23 years of service, I was fired from my position as a Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, for being critical of Israel’s violence in Gaza and speaking out against the racism that leads to genocide.
UCSF placed Dr. Rupa Marya on leave and threatened her medical license after she questioned admitting students who served in the Israeli military. She is right to raise ethical concerns about those who could have participated in genocide.
University of California, San Francisco medical professionals, workers, and students throughout the UC system are convening the UC People’s Tribunal for Palestine to charge UC leadership with complicity in genocide and the ongoing Nakba.
