ANALYSIS/OPINION: ……..“Harvard, once a bastion of academic freedom, is no more”
Harvard University is messing with academic freedom.
In a stunning display of ignorance about the U.S. legal system — not to mention a breathtaking cluelessness about the nature of justice and the rule of law — some Harvard students precipitated the firing of Ronald Sullivan, a law school professor, and his wife, Stephanie Robinson, a law school lecturer.
The couple will keep their teaching posts but will no longer be faculty deans at Winthrop House, one of the university’s undergraduate dorms — Harvard calls them “residences.”
Some Winthrop students protested Mr. Sullivan’s joining Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s legal defense team.
The protesters claim Mr. Sullivan’s client selection scares them. Why? Because Mr. Weinstein faces multiple sexual assault charges levelled by multiple Hollywood actresses.
