Stanford Law School has announced its associate dean of diversity is on leave, the latest fallout from an event that brought a Trump-appointed judge — and 100 student protestors — to the university earlier this month.
Stuart Kyle Duncan, a judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, was invited to speak on “Guns, COVID and Twitter” on March 9 by the law school’s Federalist Society, a conservative and libertarian group.
Duncan, who has argued against marriage equality and other LGBTQ+ rights in the past, was met with a flurry of posters, boos and heated comments from student groups both in and outside the classroom where the talk was held.
