Harvard University decided to remove law professor Ron Sullivan from a dean's post after Sullivan signed on as a member of the team defending Harvey Weinstein.
In response to an uproar on campus, Harvard University decided this weekend to remove law professor Ron Sullivan from a dean's post after Sullivan had signed on as a member of the team defending disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein. Ironically, Harvard's decision comes just a day after Sullivan told the Manhattan judge overseeing Weinstein's case that Sullivan would, in fact, be leaving the defense team.
Weinstein spokesman Juda Engelmayer told ABC News Saturday evening that Weinstein"is extremely grateful to Ronald Sullivan for his work with him until now, and for Ron's offer to advise where he can going forward." Weinstein is due to go on trial in September on charges of rape and sexual assault. He was arrested nearly a year ago and is out on bail.
