Professor Ronald S. Sullivan Jr. and his wife, Harvard law lecturer Stephanie Robinson, will no longer be faculty deans of Winthrop House -- one of 12 undergraduate residential houses at the Boston-area university -- after their term ends June 30, Harvard College Dean Rakesh Khurana said.Harvard professor representing Harvey Weinstein says people deemed 'vile' deserve defenseThe couple are the first black faculty deans in Harvard's history.
""It is particularly important for this category of unpopular defendant to receive the same process as everyone else -- perhaps even more important," Sullivan wrote."To the degree we deny unpopular defendants basic due process rights we cease to be the country we imagine ourselves to be. In fact, most of the due process rights we hold dearest derive from lawyers who represented unpopular defendants.
Wow. CNN actually put out Harvey Weinstein story. I'm shocked. He only had more accusers and was more powerful than Bill Cosby. When was the last time they gave Harvey Weinstein any coverage?
Sad
Wow!
Dangerous precedent
Weinstein is a horrible prevert. But now we are punishing lawyers for who they represent? Seriously, we are going to keep this blacklisting people and take their jobs from them on a basic right that every one deserves his day in court and to have a lawyer. This crap has to stop.
As an exercise of a practicing attorney representing any client good or bad Why is he being penalized for exerting the right to law. Even criminals like Harvey Weinstein deserve representation. Futhermore students will encounter this and need to know how to react and exert law
So generous & kind of HarveyWeinstein making all those psychopathic, spoilt brat, women celebrities. To bad they don’t appreciate it!
How bout Dershowitz, and his connection to Epstein & underage girls? And Trump!
Why?
The (perhaps racist?) punks who demanded this need a swift kick in the ass. Instead, they're coddled by cowardly administrators locked in the death grip of political correctness.
He is right even the worse of people have the right to counsel whether he wins is a different story but firing a man for doing what he teaches and believes in. Harvard is mocking what the law school is about and the students why become lawyers if you think that away. Laws the law
Looks like Harvard is liberal only when it suits them. Hypocrites. Don't they think people accused by MeToo need a trial and legal counsel?
Wondering if they would the same to a white faculty. It’s seems to be more about race than anything else. What happened with everybody deserves defense until proven guilty?
If a lawyer is assigned to represent trash it is 1 thing. To volunteer is reprehensible . Wouldn’t surprise me to see a money trail leading to dnc socialists Clinton.
Listen to Momma -- choose your friends smartly - in this case - Clients, although some of them can pay filthily to stuff yours fully.
Probably cause he’s not a very good lawyer.
PC police of Radicals is rampant. Very high probability - dean of Harvard is extraordinary professional will have rewarding career on next day in booming MAGA BREAKING NEWS employees of Google striked2protest oppression SaturdayThoughts Indoctrinated - blind but filling wrong
Why? This is low if it’s because he defended Harvey
SOMEBODY has to represent that garbage either way. Being a lawyer is a career... he’s being removed for practicing law......... interesting, makes A LOT of sense.
Anyone ever hear of Claus von Bulow?
So should we be happy or sad? Afterall metoo says you must beileve the victim and anyone involved is guilty so what is the issue?
Does Harvard has a law school ? Answer : NO
Why?
WTF?!
