John Eastman, left, and Rudy Giuliani speak at the Jan. 6 pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C.
Chapman University and John Eastman, a professor and former dean of the law school, have agreed that Eastman will resign, effective immediately.
The announcement came one week after Chapman, the Henry Salvatori Professor of Law and Community Service, spoke at the Jan. 6 “Save America” rally in Washington, D.C. and after students and colleagues accused him of helping incite the riot at the Capitol that followed.
At the rally, Eastman appeared onstage next to Rudy Giuliani, saying, “We know there was fraud” and “dead people voted” in the 2020 presidential election. Voting machines contained a “secret folder” of ballots, challenging the “very essence of our republican form of government,” he said.
