Kravitz began working with Eisenberg on this issue and remembered Eisenberg’s boldness when designing an affirmative action policy for the Medical School. The portion of minority students at the school increased to 20 percent of the class, according to Kravitz.
Alvin F. Poussaint, a professor at the Medical School, said that Eisenberg was most proud of his accomplishment of expanding the Medical School to include underrepresented groups.
Kleinman added that Eisenberg was “extraordinarily generous in assisting young scholars in finding financial support for their research and projects,” and that he pushed to improve ethical standards at the Medical School.
Kleinman said that Eisenberg advocated strict guidelines for faculty members accepting monetary endorsements from pharmaceutical companies because he felt that conflicting interests would be dangerous for the Medical School.
As a testament to Eisenberg’s brilliance and dynamism, Kleinman remembered one instance when Eisenberg had been conversing with a renowned ecologist about the behavior of speckled trout at a medical conference in the early seventies, only to be mistaken for an ecologist and not a psychologist.
