Remove Ken Sunshine from CUNY Board for Intimidating Harvey Weinstein Victims

The Issue

Current CUNY Board-member and Public Relations Strategist Ken Sunshine Slut Shamed Weinstein Victims in the Press and Protected and Profited off His Abuse for Years. We the alumni, students, faculty, and staff, of CUNY and SUNY, and We are DEMANDING the Governer to call for the immediate resignation or removal of his close friend and senior strategist from his position on the CUNY Board Of Trustees due to his deplorable and potentially criminal involvement in the Harvey Weinstein case. In light of reports that Ken Sunshine influenced District Attorney Cy Vance, and was behind the deplorable New York Post April 1, 2015 coverage smearing the reputation of an innocent Weinstein accuser, and working to discredit her story, releasing a victim of sexual assault's name to the public, all in an effort to intimidate her into dropping charges. Based on the seriousness of these allegations we demand that Governor Andrew Cuomo call for Ken Sunshine's resignation or removal immediately.
