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.
