Catholic University’s president suspended a dean whose comments on social media this week questioned allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh. John Garvey, the president of the university, said Friday evening in an email to the campus that the remarks “demonstrated a lack of sensitivity to the victim.”
Will Rainford, the dean, had issued a written apology Thursday evening for a remark he made on his university Twitter account that he said “unfortunately degraded” one of the women who have accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault.
Julie Swetnick, the third woman in recent weeks to accuse Kavanaugh of misconduct, said in an affidavit that Kavanaugh was present at a house party in 1982, where she alleges she was the victim of a gang rape.
“Swetnick is 55 y/o,” Rainford posted Wednesday on his @NCSSSDean Twitter account. “Kavanaugh is 52 y/o. Since when do senior girls hang with freshmen boys? If it happened when Kavanaugh was a senior, Swetnick was an adult drinking with&by her admission, having sex with underage boys. In another universe, he would be victim & she the perp!”
Teresa Crenshaw, a social worker who graduated from the master’s degree program at the school in 2017, said she was “really alarmed that he had the audacity to say those things because as social workers, we know we work one-on-one with survivors every day. . . . I’m appalled by what he has said.”

A spoiled teenage upper middle class rich girl at a party who has a pass made at her by her teen classmate is not a "survivor".
Conservatism has now become a crime.
“Swetnick is 55 y/o,” Rainford posted Wednesday on his @NCSSSDean Twitter account. “Kavanaugh is 52 y/o. Since when do senior girls hang with freshmen boys?

Absolutely correct. Also, she's lying about the entire thing.
If they could get away with Cambodia style killing fields, they would use them. For now, the academic left will have to have to be content with thought control.
Can that dean sue the living s*** out of that school pres and the school itself?
Being punished for telling the truth?
Or do we wait, because...
The Saxon Has Begun to Hate.
No opinions wanted/ needed/ or allowed, Professor.
Punishment is minor so far -- but we can probably count on lots of astroturf pressure to fire him.
the further a society drifts from the truth the more it will hate those who speak it.—Orwell
the cancer of leftism has metastasized into taking over much of catholicism. Look at the fake pope.
Absolutely nothing.
Absolutely normal for the reign of the Commie pedolover in the Vatican. Did you read about where they threatened to institutionalize a priest who burned a gay flag?
Catholic University is trying to out “Marxist” (not Marist) Georgetown Un. , the home of Prof. Christine Fair, the subject of other articles about insane professors here at FR today.
The current Marxist Pope has destroyed traditional Catholic universities by letting them hire Marxists/Communists and other radical professors at Marquette, DePaul, Notre Dame, Georgetown, etc.
My friend, a former Police Intelligence Officer, a graduate of Notre Dame, is having a fit over the Pope and what is happening to Catholic universities.
I’m Jewish and see the same crap subverting traditional Jewish universities such as Brandeis, Jewish Theological Seminary, and possibly Yeshiva Un.
The disease of secular Marxism is destroying our educational system and nobody seems to be doing much about it, like STOP GIVING AS AN ALUMNI and let your voices be heard by the Universities/leadership.
I guessed they scratched “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour” part off their copy....
Seems to me that Garvey is a little confused here as to who the real victim is.
I agree. Nothing happened involving Kavanaugh. The fact that somebody may or may have done something to Ford does mean K did anything.
I agree.
The godless leftists do not have any reason to tell the truth. They bear false witness, they worship power in place of God, they enslave others in socialism wherever possible and they support killing babies by abortion murder.
Not a group to follow.
Ford never proved herself to be a victim.
