Harvard Caves, Drops Dean Hired As Harvey Weinstein’s Defense Attorney

After students whined about a faculty dean — who is also an attorney and law professor — who is defending Harvey Weinstein, Harvard University caved.

Ronald S. Sullivan Jr. and his wife have been the faculty deans of Harvard’s Winthrop House for the past 10 years, according to The New York Times. Since 2009, there have been no complaints about the couple, who were the first African-American deans at Harvard.
