A Harvard University dean has been removed after a student-run news outlet exposed social media posts slamming Whiteness, police and advocating for looting and rioting.
Gregory Davis, the former Dunster House Allston Burr resident dean, found himself in the hot seat after a Harvard student-run news outlet called Yard Report resurfaced the problematic posts. Davis was on leave last semester for reasons unrelated to the controversy.
While Harvard did not confirm that Davis was removed for the inflammatory posts, Fox News Digital obtained the text from an email sent by the faculty deans of Dunster House confirming Davis’ removal.
“We are writing to confirm that Gregory Davis is no longer serving as the Allston Burr Resident Dean of Dunster House, effective today,” the email said. “We thank Gregory for serving in this role and wish him and his family the best in their future endeavors.”

The email message also announced that Emilie Raymer, who served as interim dean during Davis’ absence, would take over the role full time.
“We look forward to seeing everyone again in the coming weeks,” the email said. “As always, we welcome hearing from you on any issues affecting the Dunster community.”
The posts in question were made between 2019 and 2024, mostly on X but also on Instagram. Davis became the dean of the dormitory in 2024.

“It’s almost like Whiteness is a self-destructive ideology that annihilates everyone around it. By design,” he said on X in 2019.
During 2020, when tensions between police and left-wing rioters reached a fever pitch after George Floyd was killed, Davis slammed police.

“You should ask your cop friends to resign since they’re racist and evil,” he said on X at the time.
As rioters and looters wreaked havoc in major metropolitan areas nationwide, Davis defended the chaos.
“Something to keep in mind: rioting and looting are parts of democracy just like voting and marching,” he said on X. “The people WILL be heard.”
In the same year, around the time President Donald Trump tested positive for COVID-19, Davis said on X that he didn’t blame people who wished Trump ill. He followed that post with a second, captioned “But also, f— that guy,” attaching a meme that said “If he dies, he dies.”

Just before Davis accepted his role as dean of the Dunster House in 2024, he made a post about Pride Month on Instagram.
“Wishing everyone a great Pride. Remember to love each other and hate the police,” the post said.
When confronted with the posts, Davis wrote to Dunster House residents in an email about the scandal, which was obtained by Fox News Digital.

“Recently, some media organizations have inquired regarding comments that I made on my personal social media accounts prior to my start in the Resident Dean role,” he wrote. “These posts do not reflect my current thinking or beliefs. I deeply appreciate the responsibility inherent in the Resident Dean role and I value the trust that individuals have placed in me. I regret if my statements have any negative impact on the Dunster community.”
“Since becoming the Allston Burr Resident Dean, I have worked hard to ensure that Dunster House is a welcoming, warm and supportive space for all of its members,” the message continued. “That continues to be the guiding force of my work today. As events outside of Harvard have affected our House and me personally, my commitment to each of you, our students, has not wavered. In my role, I have enjoyed the opportunity to work collaboratively with members of HUPD and other colleagues across campus. I respect the work they do to support our community.”
Davis did not return a request for comment.

Snow and ice forecasts continue to shift for major winter storm that will hit New Jersey starting tonight, with a surging threat of significant icing and power outages for parts of the state.
“There is high confidence in major impacts from snowfall, sleet, and ice accumulations across much of the area, making travel very difficult, and potentially resulting in widespread closures and infrastructure impacts,” the National Weather Service said early Saturday. “Travel could be nearly impossible.”
Snowfall total forecasts for the southern half of the state have been lowered slightly due to more mixing with sleet and freezing rain Sunday afternoon.
But forecasters cautioned that means more dangerous ice in addition to snowfall and potential power outages.
“There is an increasing threat for impactful ice accumulations, on top of the heavy snow that falls tonight and tomorrow morning,” the weather service said. “Ice/sleet on top of snow will result in VERY hazardous travel conditions.”
Gov. Mikie Sherrill declared a state of emergency starting at 5 p.m. Saturday. A commercial vehicle travel ban will also be in effect on major highways.
“I’m urging New Jerseyans to make plans to avoid travel Saturday evening and all day Sunday,” Sherrill said during a Friday press conference.
The entire state is also under a winter storm warning.
Snow is expected to start falling overnight and continue through Monday, which will likely result in school closures.
“Snow begins after midnight tonight, with the heaviest snow occurring daytime Sunday into Sunday evening (1-2 inches per hour rates likely),” the weather service said. “The storm winds down into Monday morning, with very cold conditions through the week.”
Northern New Jersey counties, which should see all or mostly snow during the storm, remain on track for the highest snowfall totals of 12 to 16 inches, with locally higher amounts closer to 18 inches possible.
“Snowfall rates near 1-2 inches per hour expected during the daytime period Sunday,” the weather service said.
The major ice threat is concentrated along the New Jersey Turnpike, particularly in southwestern counties near Philadelphia.
“There remains a threat for notable ice accumulations ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 inches across the I-95 corridor, southern New Jersey,” the national weather service said. “The combination of heavy snow followed by sleet/freezing rain and breezy northeast winds gusting 20-30 mph could result in some isolated instances of downed trees and power lines, and power outages.”
These ice accumulations will occur after 4 to 8 inches or 8 to 12 inches of snow has already fallen, the weather service said.
County-by-county storm warnings
- Burlington, Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Salem and Somerset – From 7 p.m. Saturday to 1 p.m. Monday. Heavy snow with mixed precipitation expected. Total snow and sleet accumulations between 7 and 13 inches and ice accumulations up to three-tenths of an inch. Ice accumulation on power lines and tree limbs may cause tree damage and power outages.
- Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Union and eastern Passaic – From 3 a.m. Sunday to 6 p.m. Monday. Heavy snow expected. The snow may mix with or change to sleet Sunday evening. Total snow and sleet accumulations between 10 and 14 inches. A brief changeover to light freezing rain along with a light glaze of ice may occur Sunday night.
- Western Passaic – From 3 a.m. Sunday to 6 p.m. Monday. Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 12 and 16 inches. Sleet may briefly mix in with the snow Sunday night.
- Atlantic and Cape May – From 7 p.m. Saturday to 7 a.m. Monday. Heavy snow with mixed precipitation expected. Total snow and sleet accumulations between 4 and 8 inches and ice accumulations up to one-tenth of an inch. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph.
