Will Rainford, Dean of the National Catholic School of Service, has resigned his position 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. I do so with all good will for the University and School. Given the needs of the faculty and direction of the School, I believe a different academic leader is warranted.
– Will Rainford

According to the Washington Post, his resignation is due to some tweets that he sent from his official @NCSSSDean account in regard to the accusations against Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
“Swetnick is 55 y/o,” Rainford said on Twitter. “Kavanaugh is 52 y/o. Since when do senior girls hang with freshmen boys? 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!”
And in another tweet:
“Riddle me this,” Rainford said. “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?”
Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with his tweets and he has a right to his opinion. Apparently not, however, according to Catholic University which had suspended him over the “uproar” caused by the tweets.
