Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is almost certainly guilty of a long train of sexual assaults, as more than 80 women have come forward with claims ranging from harassment to rape. Even though he is likely guilty, Weinstein deserves legal representation and a fair trial. These due process rights also protect his alleged victims, since the failure of a thorough legal defense will likely vindicate their claims.
Yet in February, 50 Harvard students demanded Sullivan's removal, protesting with signs in front of Winthrop House. The students protested two legal defenses: the dean's decision to defend Weinstein and his decision to defend Economics Professor Roland G. Fryer, Jr. in Harvard Title IX complaints. Many Title IX offices do not afford due process rights to those accused of sexual harassment. Indeed, that is exactly what Sullivan said of the Fryer case. He attacked the Title IX investigationas "cruel and unfair" because there was "no semblance of due process or the presumption of innocence."

Even so, this decision is tragic and terrifying for the climate of free speech on the campus of America's most prominent university. If Harvard will demote the first black co-faculty dean — with his impressive resume — over concerns that his job is "trauma-inducing," is any speech safe from student psychobabble complaints?
