John Eastman said he had “mixed feelings'' about the agreement as he spent nearly his entire academic career at the university in Orange, where he was once dean of its law school.
A Chapman University law professor who has drawn criticism for assisting President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the presidential election result and speaking at a rally for Trump before last week's insurrection at the Capitol agreed Wednesday to a settlement with the university to retire.

LAWYERS HELPING TRUMP with his quixotic election challenges are finding little support from their firms or their university affiliations, which don’t want their brands associated with the campaign. Chapman University became the latest organization to formally distance itself from a Trump legal effort after it ordered faculty member John Eastman to stop using a Chapman email, phone number and physical address in his court filings on behalf of Trump before the Supreme Court. A recent court filing by the Trump campaign shows that Eastman has since changed his listed address to a UPS store in Anaheim, Calif.
