A Stanford University administrator who berated a conservative federal judge who visited the campus on March 9 has resigned from her post, according to an email sent out to Stanford Law School (SLS) students and staff.
Tirien Steinbach, SLS’s Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, was widely criticized for intervening in a left-wing protest against Kyle Duncan, a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, during an appearance hosted by the law school’s chapter of the Federalist Society. Following widespread criticism of her conduct, Steinbach apparently resigned from her position at Stanford, per an email that SLS Dean Jenny Martinez sent to the law school community that was posted on Twitter by multiple users.
