Catholic U.’S Dean of Social Service Quits After Controversial Tweets About Sexual Assault Allegations

Catholic University’s (DC) dean of social service has quit his leadership post, the school said Wednesday, nearly two months after he posted controversial tweets about women who accused a Supreme Court nominee of sexual assault and misconduct.  Will Rainford, who had been dean since 2013, will remain a tenured associate professor at the university in Northeast Washington and plans to return to those duties after taking a sabbatical in the spring semester, the school said.
