A Stanford University dean who confronted a Trump-appointed judge after he was heckled by students during a speaking event has finally resigned months after being suspended for the incident.
Tirien Steinbach, the Stanford Law School’s associate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion, is leaving “to pursue another opportunity,” Stanford Law Dean Jenny Martinez said in a statement Thursday.
Steinbach has been marred in controversy and put on leave following viral video of her blasting Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan during his visit to the prestigious university in March.
“Associate Dean Steinbach and I both hope that SLS can move forward as a community from the divisions caused by the March 9 event,” Martinez said.
“The event presented significant challenges for the administration, the students and the entire law school community.”
