University revokes Scaramuccis invitation to speak on campus
BY NATASHA MAYOR NOVEMBER 28, 2017
UPDATE: On Tuesday morning, Anthony Scaramucci resigned from The Fletcher School Board of Advisors effective immediately, according to an email to the Fletcher community from Dean James Stavridis and Provost David Harris.
Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci (LA 86) has threatened to file a lawsuit against the Daily and against Camilo Caballero, a second-year Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD) student, for op-eds written by Caballero about Scaramucci on Nov. 6 and Nov. 13.
Scaramucci took issue with defamatory statements, that were published in Caballeros op-eds, specifically instances in which Caballero refers to Scaramucci as an unethical opportunist and someone who engages with friends interested in giving comfort to Holocaust deniers, who sold his soul in contradiction to his own purported beliefs for a seat in that White House and who cares about gaining attention and nothing more.
In response to Scaramuccis threats, the Daily published the letter it received from Sadis & Goldberg LLP, the law firm Scaramucci has retained for the case.
Following Scaramuccis threat of a lawsuit, the university postponed his visit to campus, according to Patrick Collins, executive director of public relations for Tufts University.
