I want to be clear that
@Harvard did not fire me. They did not "remove me" from my position. Another person in the same situation might have stayed on, but I could not. The fact is that I did not feel that I could do my job any longer, and I did feel pushed out; but that is not the same as actually being forced out.
First, my mental health was deteriorating rapidly; and second, it seemed apparent that I would not be supported in pursuing my teaching, research and writing, given the lack of public support from my department and Harvard administrators in response to public attacks on my character. (And I could not even teach my lecture course, since for the first time in 20 years, no grad students would agree to serve as my teaching assistants.)
There's far more to it than that, of course, and I wrote about some of it in this article below:
