Harvard Dean Removed After Posts Trashing Police, ‘Whiteness,’ And Trump Resurface
A resident dean at Harvard University was removed from his position after social media posts attacking police, denouncing “whiteness” and reflecting on the death of President Donald Trump resurfaced and went viral, the Harvard Crimson reported Monday.
Gregory Davis, who until recently served as resident dean of Harvard’s Dunster House Allston Burr, had openly criticized conservatives on social media for years, despite claiming to be “open and inclusive,” the Daily Caller News Foundation reported in October. Now, Davis no longer holds that position, according to a message obtained by The Crimson.

“It’s almost as if whiteness is a self-destructive ideology that annihilates everyone around it. By design,” reads a 2019 Davis article, an apparent response to a Time article titled “Republicans Want a White Republic. They’ll Destroy America to Get It.”

“Black people have a unique — and often authoritative — perspective on what is racist,” Davis said in a 2020 article. “But the way people disrespect and microaggression against non-English names is wrong and based in white supremacy.”
At the height of the violent Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests of 2020, Davis even asserted that “rioting and looting are part of democracy, just like voting and marching,” adding that “the people WILL be heard.”
Davis’ X account, which had been set to private at the time of the DCNF article in October, now appears to have been deleted. Harvard appears to have named an interim resident dean for Dunster, Emilie Raymer.
Harvard did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
