In a world filled with stories of hardship and struggle, there are shining examples of individuals who rise above adversity to make a profound impact on their communities. One such individual is the subject of our article today - an esteemed pediatrician who overcame apartheid's barriers to help make his country a global leader in H.I.V. care and research. His dedication to improving healthcare for all, regardless of background, is truly inspirational.
But his contributions do not stop there. In his 16 years as the dean of a prominent institution, Dr. Kaufman staved off bankruptcy, bolstered programming, and oversaw a partnership with the New School that brought new opportunities for students and faculty alike. His leadership and vision have left a lasting mark on the institution and the field of healthcare education as a whole.
As we reflect on the legacy of this remarkable leader, we cannot help but think about the broader implications of his work. Are the new stadium's amenities worth what was taken from the neighborhood folk, the taxpayer subsidies, and the unholy prices of the premium seats? These are important questions that deserve careful consideration, especially in light of the sacrifices made by individuals like Dr. Kaufman to improve the lives of others.
