Harvard Drops Harvey Weinstein Lawyer as a Faculty Dean
New York Times / Slimes ^ | May 11, 2019 | Kate Taylor

Harvard said on Saturday that a law professor who is representing Harvey Weinstein would not continue as faculty dean of an undergraduate house after his term ends on June 30, bowing to months of pressure from students.

The professor, Ronald S. Sullivan Jr., and his wife, Stephanie Robinson, who is a lecturer at the law school, have been the faculty deans of Winthrop House, one of Harvard’s residential houses for undergraduate students, since 2009. They were the first African-American faculty deans in Harvard’s history.

Isn’t that a pic of Cultural Appropriation of Old European White Men’s garb?

How dare they dump a historical figure like the first African-American Dean of Winthrop House!

Shame, Harvard! Shame!

No, they of course mean their dress and regalia to be ironic and celecratory of their triumph.

As to your question and the question of “She she still on the facility?”, Wiki is oddly moot.

Who knows? More research is necessary. Maybe I can get some CAGW research money to continue?

She apparently is still associated with the racis’, cultural appropriating cabal at the [namesake] Square in Cambridge [Mass.].

So they are saying people they don’t like such as Harvey Weinstein should not be able to have a defense lawyer and get a trial? How Democrat of them.

You know, Harvey is a scurvy putz, but he does deserves representation. The best he can buy I suppose. To drop the man, Sullivan, as a Faculty Dean because he represents Harvey is...pretty low. Now if it was because he couldn’t fulfill his Dean duties, then that is another matter, but because he represents a reprehensibile client...

Jeez, will these people ever stop. I don’t know Sullivan, don’t know if he is a good man or not...presumably a leftie...but it looks like his little marxists have learned to bite the hand that feeds them.

So they're punishing this guy because he chose to take on Weinstein as a client. I assume the student cry-bullies will similarly force Harvard and other colleges to similarly punish any law school faculty member who takes on anyone they don't like as a client - most likely conservatives.
