John Eastman, an endowed professor and constitutional law scholar at Chapman, spoke alongside Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani at theJan. 6, making the unsubstantiated claim that “secret folders” inside ballot-counting machines skewed both the presidential and Georgia Senate race results in Democrats’ favor.
Chapman President Daniele Struppa said in a statement that the university and Eastman had reached an agreement and Eastman would retire immediately. Both parties agreed not to take any kind of legal action, including over claims of defamation, which Eastman had alleged. “Dr. Eastman’s departure closes this challenging chapter for Chapman and provides the most immediate and certain path forward for both the Chapman community and Dr. Eastman,” Struppa said in a statement.for the university’s faculty senate, provost, president and law school dean to take action against Eastman, including stripping him of his endowed professorship and removing him from teaching students.
In an emailed statement Wednesday, Eastman said it was “with mixed feeling” that he announced his retirement, noting that he spent his entire academic career at Chapman and that the university’s law school achieved its highest national ranking under his leadership. But, he said, the faculty members who signed the letter calling for his termination had “created such a hostile environment for me that I no longer wish to be a member of the Chapman faculty.”He called the letter “defamatory” and said the claims he made at the rally were factual. He also said it was “scurrilous” to claim he had participated in a riot.
People of the sun
funny. no hullabaloo like this: pac money, contracts cancelled etc when the ‘access hollywood tape’ was released, when immigrants were denigrated, when our allies smeared, when the disabled maligned.....
claiming hearsay as fact absent proof, using his authority & acting as the grounding for rhetoric that incited actions causing loss of life is not free speech - it's saying there was fire in the theatre when none existed; standing by when 'FIRE' was cried out; retiring in a pet.

These right wingers can never accept any responsibility for their actions when they display total lack of judgment.
It was not a rally.
Has there been a spike in any contribution to of any other Politicians in the last seven days?
macadee Involuntarily!!!
A dangerous dishonest Chapman University professor who is a Trump propagandist.
What hard evidence does he have to substantiate his claims? Evidence that was missed by everyone else that he has somehow discovered.
This is how Nazis and Communist act. Now it’s the Left.
How did he get the job in the first place?
Everything Trump touches dies. Especially careers.
So BLM riots are okay? Double standards. BLM protests were not peaceful.
ehernandez, FYI.
Retirement isn’t gonna save him for being charged as part of the seditious insurrection. Oh btw, Chapman “University” sucks big time for hiring and admitting racist, bigoted professors and students alike. Ridiculous, over priced liberal arts college.
Enjoy your “retirement” party, professor! I’m sure it’s been planned for...days.
So, instead of being “canceled,” he’s decided to retire, take his pension and run.
