A Catholic University dean resigned Wednesday from a leadership position
two months after voicing criticism of sexual misconduct allegations raised
by women against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Will Rainford, who held the position of dean of social service at the
university for five years, will continue to be a tenured associate
professor and will return to the school after taking a sabbatical in the
spring, according to the university.
“After much prayer and discernment, I am submitting my resignation to you
as Dean of the National Catholic School of Social Service, effective
immediately,” Rainford said. “I do so with all goodwill for the University
and School. Given the needs of the faculty and direction of the School, I
believe a different academic leader is warranted.”

He was initially suspended in September by the school after he questioned
some of the claims made against Kavanaugh, prompting outrage on social
media.
“[Julie] Swetnick is 55 y/o. Kavanaugh is 52 y/o. Since when do senior
girls hang with freshmen boys?" Rainford wrote in a now-deleted tweet, the
Washington Post reported.
“If it happened when Kavanaugh was a senior, Swetnick was an adult
drinking with & by her admission, having sex with underage boys. In
another universe, he would be victim & she the perp!” the then-dean added.

Swetnick claimed Kavanaugh, in the early 1980s, helped spike the drinks at
parties in order to make it easier for girls to be gang-raped. Kavanaugh
called the allegations “ridiculous and from the Twilight Zone," and
Swetnick and her embattled attorney, Michael Avenatti, were referred in
October for criminal investigation for an alleged “conspiracy” to provide
false statements to Congress.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who made the referral,
cited contradictory statements by both Avenatti and Swetnick in media
interviews and pointed to an Oct. 1 NBC interview in which Swetnick
backtracked on her central claim she saw Kavanaugh spiking the punch.

In another tweet, Rainford asked why California professor Christine Blasey
Ford took a polygraph test before making her accusation.
“Riddle me this,” he wrote in a tweet, according to the Post. “Why would
the accuser of Kavanaugh take a polygraph, paid for by someone else and
administered by private investigator in early August, if she wanted to
remain anonymous and had no intention of reporting the alleged assault?”
Catholic University President John Garvey called Rainford’s tweets
“unacceptable” at the time and announced his suspension.
“We should expect any opinion he expresses about sexual assault to be
thoughtful, constructive, and reflective of the values of Catholic
University, particularly in communications from the account handle
@NCSSSDean,” Garvey said. “While it was appropriate for him to apologize
and to delete his Twitter and Facebook accounts, this does not excuse the
serious lack of judgment and insensitivity of his comments.”

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
