After making derogatory comments about the sexual assault on reporter Lara Logan, NYU professor Nir Rosen has resigned.
Karen J. Greenberg, Executive Director at New York University’s Center on Law and Security issued the following statement:
“Nir Rosen is always provocative, but he crossed the line yesterday with his comments about Lara Logan. I am deeply distressed by what he wrote about Ms. Logan and strongly denounce his comments. They were cruel and insensitive and completely unacceptable. Mr. Rosen tells me that he misunderstood the severity of the attack on her in Cairo. He has apologized, withdrawn his remarks, and submitted his resignation as a fellow, which I have accepted. However, this in no way compensates for the harm his comments have inflicted. We are all horrified by what happened to Ms. Logan, and our thoughts are with her during this difficult time.”
Rosen posted crude remarks on his Twitter page about the brutal sexual assault and beating Logan sustained while on assignment in Egypt for CBS.
