Elizabeth Fieg is a senior genetic counselor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a faculty member affiliated with Harvard Medical School. While trained in science and medicine, Fieg has aligned herself with political movements that promote anti-Israel extremism and deny the existence of antisemitism on campus. Her signature on multiple faculty letters has placed her in direct opposition to efforts aimed at creating a safe and inclusive environment for Jewish students at Harvard.
Elizabeth Fieg’s Actions
-
January 2024: Signed the founding Statement by Harvard Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine, a document that whitewashed terrorism, vilified Israel, and minimized the impact of the October 7 Hamas massacre.
-
January 6, 2024: Signed a letter formally establishing the Harvard FSJP chapter—solidifying her participation in an organization that consistently defends encampments, radical protests, and false accusations of genocide.
Why Elizabeth Fieg Is a Problem on Campus
As a healthcare professional and Harvard affiliate, Fieg’s endorsement of biased and inflammatory statements contributes to the normalization of antisemitism under the banner of social justice. Her actions help elevate a faculty network that rejects factual accountability, undermines university policies on discrimination, and deepens division among students. By lending institutional credibility to extremist narratives, Fieg erodes the trust necessary for academic and medical environments to remain safe for all.
