MIT Professor Yossi Sheffi Publishes Book on Antisemitism at MIT
- MIT engineering professor Yossi Sheffi says he has taught at the university for 48 years.
- He has published Unsafe at MIT: A Chronicle of a Campus War on the Jews, which he says drew attention from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
- He says MIT's dean of engineering told him to work only on operations research and supply-chain management, not antisemitism; no MIT response is included in the published excerpt.
All claims above are the author's, as stated in the original report; none independently verified there. Original headline: "I Wrote About How MIT Failed Jewish Students".
Removed: the author's characterizations ("rife with defenders, supporters, and celebrants of Hamas's atrocities," "vindictive response," "blatant double standard") and his argument about academic freedom — argument, not fact.
