Harvard University removed a resident dean from his position last week after some of his old tweets resurfaced in which he criticized President Donald Trump and law enforcement. The tweets, posted before he worked at Harvard, had previously sparked pressure from conservatives to remove him from his role.
Gregory K. Davis was fired from his position at Harvard University
Gregory K. Davis was appointed Dunster House resident dean in 2024, serving as the resident dean of one of the university’s undergraduate residential houses. On Monday, he said he was removed from his position.
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as the Resident Dean for Dunster,” Davis wrote, according to The Harvard Crimson. “I will miss my work with students and staff immensely.”
Harvard then confirmed his removal in an email, according to Fox News: “We are writing to confirm that Gregory Davis is no longer serving as the Allston Burr Resident Dean of Dunster House, effective today. We thank Gregory for serving in this role and wish him and his family the best in their future endeavors.”
Dunster Faculty Dean Taeku Lee announced that Emilie Raymer would take on Davis’ role. This fall, she served as interim dean when Davis was on parental leave. Davis also announced that associate dean of students Lauren E. Brandt would take on the administrative tasks he had previously overseen.
Following Davis’ removal, his wife, Nirisi, launched a GoFundMe campaign seeking support during what she called “an incredibly difficult and unexpected time” for their family.
“My husband, who has dedicated himself to his work at Harvard and to supporting students, was recently terminated from his position while returning from parental leave. Adding to the stress, we were given only 10 days to vacate our university housing,” she wrote. “This sudden and unplanned upheaval has left us scrambling to find a safe home for our family amidst the harsh winter months.”
